The Mile of a Smile

0 the wonder that it does,

simple yet profound.

Alarming the joy o£ hearts,

so loud without a sound.

The greatest smile of all,

is upon one who knows the Lord.

A cherished priceless treasure,

no wealth could ever afford.

It shines light in darkness,

brings comfort from a tear.

It even gives joy to those,

who receive it as sincere.

A wonderful friend of dimples,

maybe even a crooked tooth.

But it's a power in the making,

reviving the warmth of youth.

So when you see the sorrow,

of those who pass you by,

give then a warm smile,

and lift their spirit high.

for joy cannot be hidden,

it must shine all the while.

Give the love that lasts,

through the mile of a smile!!

“A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.”

Proverbs 15:13a

Because my joy needs to be shared,

my joy in the Lord Jesus Christ,
