A Lifetime of Reasons to Smile

Each morning, new mercies.

Each day, an adventure.

Each second, a blessing.

Each sunset a treasure.

—–

Each flower, a promise.

Each dream, inspiration.

Each friend, an oasis.

Each laugh, a vacation.

—–

I’m surrounded by such beautiful chaos.

But all the while I see

That with every breath that I take,

Through every joy, every trial,

For every moment You’re here with me,

I have a lifetime of reasons to smile.

—–

Each star, a bright beacon.

Each hug, a warm peace.

Each misstep, a lesson.

Each tear, a release.

—–

Each heartache, a jewel.

Each hurt, a new song.

Each healing, a miracle.

You’re there all along.

—–

I’m surrounded by such hope for the future.

And all around I see

That with every breath that I take,

Through every joy, every trial,

For every moment You’re here with me

I have a lifetime of reasons to smile.
