I Smile Because...

Today I'm Grateful:
For a new day
Food to cook
Cooking skills
A loving family
God's Love & Mercy

I Smile Because...

I'm happy
Joyful to be in this moment
Grateful for the sense to slow down and see
See the true beauty which surrounds me

I Smile Because...

I'm loved
by God, my child and even by those who have not met me yet

I Smile Because...

The sound of a child's laughter is contagious
To watch them play in pure innocence stretches my lips
from west to east

I Smile Because...

Even through the rain I can feel peace
I know without a doubt that I am safe

I Smile Because...

Of writers and bloggers, poets and musicians
Their words and sounds engulf my heart
They send me soaring beyond my imagination

I Smile Because...

I'm free...Free to say what's in my heart
Free to love and be loved unconditionally
Free to walk this path of spirituality on my
own terms

I Smile Because...

I'm surrounded by Angels
Those who have gone before me
My heart smiles widely knowing they are around

I Smile Because...

It releases me
Lifts me
Cradles me gently

I Smile Because...

I Can
