Smile

I smile cuz I'm alive and blessed
I smile cuz I have the desire and the capability to do so
I smile cuz I can take a deep breath and honestly say
Thank You Lord, I love You
I smile cuz the Lord blesses me with food on my table
I smile cuz I have dreams that the Lord will allow me to accomplish
I smile cuz the Lord taught me patience and strengthens my trust in Him
I smile cuz I have a heart and a mind that are healthy and understanding
I smile cuz I have the ability to reason and educate myself
I smile cuz I look and feel beautiful
I smile cuz I have too much love and respect for myself
I smile cuz I'm a kind and liberated spirit
I smile cuz God gave me peace within and I'm comfortable with who I am
And as long as the sun is shining and Almighty God
keeps on feeding me and satisfies my heart
What choice do I have, but to be positive, humble my spirit
Put a smile on my countenance and be happy
May Your peace be with me always, I desire You, life, and love
