Behind the smile

Lies the trials of the day

How God made a way

The journey meant to be

The faith lying inside me

The solid ground under my feet

The place where God and I meet

And the wonderful gift

That gives me a lift

Behind the smile

Lies every thought

The joy God brought

The perfect peace

I can’t release

The silent prayer

That shows God’s there

And the eyes

That reveal a surprise

Behind the smile

Lies the love

Sent by heaven above

Every cherished blessing

I count without stressing

The moments I hold

Like a pot of gold

And the shining light

That makes me take flight

It can’t be taken for granted

It’s the seed God planted

The moments that last a while

Behind the smile
