Setting on the sofa watching
A little TV
Things not in order
The way they should be
Combing my hair with one hand
And the remote in the other
A bake potato sat on the end table
With a little sour cream and butter
With everything that’s going on in life
Maybe I should be in pain
But tonight my heart smiles
So in life there is no rain

Looking at a photo taking
Many years ago
Feeling the exact same as I did
All those years ago
I have a heart that smile no matter what
I act lady like at times and
On occasions I act like a nut
Even when the sun stops shinning
And trouble stacks in piles
I will continue to reach new heights
Because of the heart that smiles

Even though the storm may rise
And water fills my eyes
It doesn’t stop the rhythm of this
Old heart that smile
Sometimes when you are going through
There’s nothing good you can hear
Place your hand on your chest
And you will feel your heart there
With every beat that you feel it’s
Giving you a message
Saying even though you are going through
A smile the heart expresses

A tender gentle breeze that blows
In the air
A warm fuzzy feeling that explodes everywhere
Boldly it tells us what and who to trust
Some are strong unbreakable and tough
Even in danger, afraid but yet smiles
The heart is remarkable traveling
Between space, time, and miles
This is what I think while setting here tonight
And a deep part of me know that it’s right
The heart is what judges us in life
It’s what God sees through his sight

It can let go of things you never thought
You had
It can make you feel good or condemn
You to feeling bad
Nevertheless; I can conquer the saddest troubles
And make it all worthwhile
Simple because God has given me a heart
That smile
