Shining the Light

 There's a taste of heaven found here on earth
Stupendous blessings adorning life’s worth
Reasons to smile, as we tread through each day
Spreading cheer to those we meet on our way.

Everyone has troubles, bringing the downs
Remember smiles are friendlier than frowns
Confide in Christ, you can depend on Him 
He will answer, peace then resides within.

When your heart’s grown cold, your hand God will hold
Reach out to Him and the Light will explode
Bask in divine glory, embrace the grace
You’ll find a smile will never leave your face.

Light that’s shining through the soul, heart and face
Leads to where we'll share God's celestial place
Somewhere out there, beyond the golden gate
Where lost loved one's and friends patiently wait.

Regardless of what binds the universe together, being here and able to help each other with a smile or a bit of aid makes life completely worth it. Amazing really how this all works! Smiles!!

Victor Buhagiar Date: 1/23/2025 2:02:00 AM This is a great spiritual poem. We used to be like that in Malta. Now, many foreigners are spoiling everything, and many Maltese have become corrupt. I must pray for them.
