Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just
Smile
If we at The (real) Stepford Wives Association had a personal credo (other than to serve men) it would be to simply smile. This simple song written by Charlie Chaplin personifies perfectly what we believe deep inside. We smile. How we feel inside, angry, hurt, frustrated; we do not cry out in anger, we smile through it.
We never falsely feign happiness, we simply are happy and even if we are sad, we outwardly show and demonstrate happiness. We are thrilled with our husbands and the lives they afforded us to live. We remain composed and poised to handle the challenges of modern living wearing our best smile as reflection of our very lives. This is our most beneficial and important asset and it's never false. Our smiles are completely genuine. We are just that happy!
When we do become down or blue we remind ourselves how difficult our husbands must have it, being around people who rarely smile, save for after work. We remind ourselves of all the people so much more less fortunate than ourselves.
It gets us through whatever we are going through, well that and hugely tidy home with healthy children. Plus we have The (real) Stepford Wives Association to help and to see us through. It is also a large reason how we earned our pearls.
