Holding Smiles

When hope seems but a mystery
And I'm longing for this day be done
With happiness but forgotten
I still find it in my son

He's holding smiles that I thought I'd forgotten
So tender his innocence be
I can't help but with a smirk and a smile
To give thanks for what God's given me

I find that my day's gotten brighter
I forget all my worries and cares
So little but so large his heart
Always finding a smile to share

He's holding smiles that I thought had been lost
He's finding my souls relief
Like an Angel sent down from Heaven
With a smile he sanctifies me

So it's not about how things work out
Or the hills across lifes miles
In the valleys where I need him most
He builds a bridge with just a smile
