The smile on my face shows the joy in place.
The love I feel is proof of the comfort that family and friends reveal.
Never have to ask what makes me feel so good,
Because if you walk in my shoes it is simply understood.
All the good God placed here on this green Earth shows that he has full power of that
great curse.
Even though evil and bad things happen here on this Earth,
I still have a smile on my face that shows the joy in place.
