Today I Smile

I smile
I love a little too much
I live through tragedy
A tragedy that did not need to be

I smile
I weep at the loss
watching the glory pass
A tragedy that did not need to be

I smile
I tenderly remember days gone by
I remember what is
A tragedy that did not need to be

I smile
I hold my memories close
I remember who I am
A tragedy that needed to happen
