Smell the Roses: Hope in Everyday Beauty

Smell the Roses – Lucy Banks I’m so tired and weary Life’s cares have got me down There’s griefs and heartaches All over town Just stop and take a minute To smell the roses as they bloom And see the hope in a tomorrow Instead of all this doubt and gloom If we let the dark clouds gather We’ll be tossed about in the wind We must look for the silver lining Life is just what we make it Bright sunshine or dark of night Don’t give in to despairs calling Square your shoulders stand and fight See the rainbow as it spreads Magic colors across the sky Life is full of natural beauty Just to brighten up our day So let’s stop, and smell the roses.
