Did you smile today,
through you have trouble
or did you let fear
burst your happy bubble?

Did you laugh today,
did you go hehe
or did your cares
only cause you worry?

Did you grin today,
through your distress
or did your doubt
your joy suppress?

Did you giggle today,
did you let out a chuckle
or with having patience
did you struggle?

Did you smile today,
as your faith was tried
did you count it all for joy
even though not dry eyed?

~~~~~~~~

James 1:2-3

My brethren, count it all joy
when ye fall into divers temptations;

Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith worketh patience.
