The Lord Made Me Smile
As I stood on the porch at eveningtide,
I saw them slowly flying away with a glide.
Their wings were spread to catch the air,
But they caught more, as I stood there.
For I saw something else in that beautiful scene,
I saw a face, somber and serene.
It made me think of the day gone by,
As the sun fell lower in the sky.
It was the face of the day the Lord just spent,
And was surely there, and heaven sent.
His face was made by the light, darkness, and those birds out a mile,
He was reminding me, that I had reasons to smile.
