The best thing in life is her smile; that feels so divine,
And lies to the world that she is fine.
She lost her folks when she was nine,
Since then her world wasn't really fine.
Yet she grew better like the wine, with the time.
She has all the reasons in the world to whine,
Yet she's thriving like the vine, laughing all the time.
Lying to the world she is fine.
I wonder why life's been so hard on her.
I wonder how she keeps her cheer.
I wonder if God sees her tear,
I wonder if He can feel her fear.
In her heart I see no guile,
All I see, is a teary smile.
That tells me she isn't really fine.
She looks forward to each new day,
In her heart she feels so gay,
And that feeling gets her through each day.
Sometimes she weeps inside, all day and night,
With nobody around in sight.
She feels so lost and so alone,
But sometimes she senses an angel forlorn,
Who wipes her tears and quietens her fears.
She prays and believes that things will be fine.
She teaches me lessons of life,
That mountains can be moved with steadfast faith.
Riches and glory she has none,
Yet she counts her blessings, one by one.
And tells me it is so much fun,
To run around soaking up the sun.
She clings onto her Savior so tight,
Believing that He will provide,
No matter the time or the tide.
She calms my fears and draws me near,
Whispering in my ear, 'Things may be stormy now,
But tomorrow will be bright and clear filled with lot of cheer.'
After all, every dark stormy rain is followed by the yellow sun's blazing glare.
The best thing in life is her smile; that feels so divine,
And lies to the world that she is perfectly fine.

about in life, but the lives they live is worth bragging about!)
