God's Smile
This is Thy smile
Woven in The sunbeam's caress Upon the sea.
This Thy smile
That tinkles in the voices
Of children at play
Upon the sands.
Thy smile I see
In the eyes of lovers
Walking
Upon the shore,
At evening I, saw Thy smile
Where white roses bend
Over a moonlit wall.
And I heard
Precious laughter
Down the pebbles in the brook Where cool waters run.
Thy smile is permanent
In the hearts of mothers;
Even in pain I've watched
Thy smile
Tucked in the breast of hope.
Even in death I've found it Lighting with radiance
The wings of faith
Thy beloved
Thine all-assuring Smile.
