What Makes Me Smile


Greeted by the sound of the ocean all sadness eases away 
as I skim the surface of a smile, I suddenly make headway
Showered by rainfalls I am filled with the scent of petrichor  
I smile, at the thought that God has cleansed me to the core;

Connected to a Higher Power I am an exquisite human being  
smiling for a thousand reasons that only I can totally illumine 
Invented out of dust I have become the beating heart of love
and I have a million reasons to smile un-mentioned there of     

Loved by many understood by few, I am the twinkle of a star
I smile cuz deep inside I know there is nothing that can mar 
Abled and armed with compassion and passion I am strong 
I smile because I know I am, the breath of everything I am

What makes me smile is the thought that I am never alone   
I have Angels at my side, that I don't need to call or phone    
In a heartbeat they are there right beside me everywhere
in sickness or in health I know His Love is always, there  !

Awwn what an adorable and soulfully divine poem this is, sweet Rose! Made my heart bloom with the purity of your words and truly brought a smile to my soul. There's so much kindness and love flowing in the universe which we can really feel in our cores, only if we are willing to make those lil efforts, to fully embrace ourselves and others. "Loved by many understood by few, I am the twinkle of a star","I smile because I know I am, the breath of everything I am" Ah that line! Absolutely beautiful

I share your thoughts about what makes me smile. I love the part about angels by our sides...I especially liked the next to the last verse. It spoke to me, yellow rose
