The Beautiful Smile
THE BEAUTIFUL SMILE
They called her the lady with the beautiful smile
She seemed to flash it all the while
Welcome to Olivet we're glad you're here
The church of warm welcome filled with cheer
She had a way about her that was really contagious
Her witness to others was soft, but courageous
Her love for Jesus came shining through
The lives she touched were more than a few
She had no desire to sing in the choir
Yet she sang with words unheard
Her smile and her greeting were songs to admire
And people's hearts were truly stirred
She was never harsh, always kind
Exhorting others with the Truth
The lady possessing that beautiful smile
Was none other than my sweet wife -- Ruth
In honor and tribute to my wife who passed away on Monday, 3 November 2014
