God Smiles

Accidental Poet



God Smiles

 

One day I imagined

That I could see God’s smile

And down the road of life

Happy people mile after mile

 

For he wants us all

 To be happy and free

To love one another

Help each other endlessly

 

You know God smiles when

Its raining happiness

And everywhere I look

There’s an ecstatic smile

 

Cause just one smile

Can lead to another

To one and all

Sisters and brothers

 

I know you’re starting to now

From inside that feeling grows

Go ahead look in the mirror

You’ll see how it shows

 

You know God smiles when

Its raining happiness

And everywhere I look

There’s an ecstatic smile

      A fine write AP. I dunno about 'raining happiness' as it's been tipping down for 2 whole days so far. lol. Some people look glum. I'm just glad it's not snow!

      • Accidental Poet

        Yes orchi, glad its not snow. But...do you happen to have a boat?

        There are good people in this world who help each other without thinking but we never hear of them.

        That film show the power that music can have to make people happy, especially the children.

        Great positive write.

          Thank you Andy. On occasion I've heard of someone making a selfless act of compassion to help another and avoiding any recognition by quickly walking away. May God bless them for their kindness.
          And I agree that the film shows that power that the music can have. I loved watching how it all grew out of what the one little girl did of putting money in the container. Then the musicians slowly coming out to join in the musical offering. And then the onlookers begin singing the words to the piece. It sounds very familiar, but I don't know the name of the music or who its by. I'm sure you'll know though.

            It was the final movement of Beethoven's Symphony No 9 - The Choral Symphony.

              AP,
              Your poem is beautiful! I enjoyed the video very much! ODE TO JOY, Beethoven’s Symphony No.9, is one of favorites! Every time I hear it, it makes me smile and makes me joyous! Thank you for sharing this awesome poem and clip!

                Thank you Laura for reading, listening and your compliments. As I just told Goldfinch, I'd thought it was Beetoven's 5th, but wasn't sure. He corrected me that it was Beetoven's 9th symphony. I remember hearing the melody, but the video clip reminded me that there is lyrics to it too. It is a very beautiful and moving song. And the header image I chose because it reminded me of all the smiles spawned from the musicians gathering to play. And the singing was the icing on the cake.
