Smiley Faces

I was led to believe that Forrest Gump created the original Smiley Face!
But in an instant framed in time The Master Artist in His insurmountable grace,
Has awed us with three of the most graceful creatures in His employ,
To portray a masterpiece created by only Him for we mere mortals to enjoy!

This lovely chef-d'oeuvre also shows that He has a sense of humor too.
I like to think that He created it for a very special person - mainly you!
May I propose a toast to you, Dear Carolyn, on this your special day:
"May His face ever smile on you and bring you joy in every way!"
