My Journey to God

A Smile from Heaven

In my heart I hold so dear
A dream in which perfect love
drove out all fear.

I looked into the eyes of Jesus
and he into mine.

The light surrounding my Shepherd
was so intensely bright
I knew it was divine.

At once he brought me to a place
Where all I noticed was the smile
on each and every face.

The smiles were so big, so great
That I knew this place
did not hold one drop of hate.

A peace and joy so complete overcame me
That I did not notice
whose faces these may be.
I longed to stay even just a little while
But awoke, bringing with me only a smile.

I cherish this moment
as brief as it might have been,
Because a smile so big
could only have come from Heaven.
