Behind the smile

Lies stories that last a while

There’s a long history

And not a lot of mystery

There are lessons

And many confessions

There’s a loving God

I give Him a wink and a nod

And life in it’s splendor

My joy I’ll never surrender

Behind the smile

Lies plenty of peace

That I don’t want to release

There’s a purpose

Rising to the surface

There’s a guide

Which I cannot hide

There’s a day

I cherish in every way

And a light in my eyes

That should come as no surprise

There’s a long road

And a story to be told

So it’ll take a while

To discuss what’s behind the smile
