When tears stream down,
He was there.
He gave her a reason to smile.
A reason to care.

She was carried on His shoulder
and seated on His lap.
Her little body shook
as He made her laugh.

When real life kicked in
with her real dad.
She went to her heavenly father
for this was the real one she had.

your smile,
your face
can brighten
any day
of someone
in need

all you ever
have to do
is be beautiful,
be you,
and believe.

Drops
drops of water
run down my face
from my eyes.
I can taste the salts
as my eyes burn
and my heart aches
and my spirit dies.
Pain
pain of sorrow
flows through
my tired body.
I can't feel anything
but bitter pain
surrounding
the inside of me.

Like a child on Christmas day,
like paint to an artist,
like crashing waves on the bay
like notes to a harpist.

A joy so transforming
Sweeping you off your seat.
It's so heartwarming
causing saltate to your feet.

God is restoring your life
with pure elation.
Impacting your inside
making joy the foundation.
