There are some days that my smile is gone,
It some how disappeared between the night and dawn!
Where did it go? Why did it up and leave?
I need it to come back and give this frown a reprieve!
This day started off on the slow down in the dumps,
Things weren’t going quite right but I have to get out of this slump!
I ask my loving Father for his help and guidance,
He answers me by sending little messages from a distance!
On a little screen from my home I see my family,
They may be miles away but today they are in front of me!
There’s a “Hi! How are you?” or a “We miss and love you too!”
Just seeing these heart felt messages makes my smile break through!
I am so blessed to have a Father who knows how to put me on track!
Because my family found my smile and brought it back!
