Lost in melodies, a promise I made,
To forever laugh, casting shadows in shade.
These moments of love, precious and bright,
My words, like soft flowers, take wing in the light.

Blooms, a fragrant crown, whisper ’round my soul,
Soft smiles bloom where sorrow once held its hold.
Radiant warmth within, a heart newly bright,
Darkness finds no welcome, banished by light.

Reflecting the beauty, a vision so clear,
My smile, a dance of freedom, casting off fear.
Melodies I weave, a tapestry spun,
In the symphony of joy, my journey begun.

But can a constant smile truly erase,
The weight of the world, the burdens we face?
Does joy, forever blooming, mask hidden despair?
Can a heart always sing, without a single tear?

Perhaps in the depths, where shadows reside,
True strength is discovered, where vulnerability can confide.
For even in darkness, a single bloom can ignite,
A symphony richer, bathed in both dark and light.

But tell me, is this a truth we hold dear?
Can a smile conquer all, or must we sometimes shed a tear?
Is there beauty in sorrow, a wisdom untold?
Or is a life ever-joyful, a story yet to unfold?
