Halo Upon Your Heart
01 September 2006

Just a smile, a smile from you
This smile, the enlightening
of your heart to see

But was it just a smile
or was there more
from your child inside
This beauty, your reality
all those things God did provide

A warmth, a true beginning
that light held to your soul
So many questions, and only one answer to give
Could God provide love
or would love always be that shadow

For was it only a smile, or much more in your eyes
Oh to know the flesh, to touch and hold you close
Then your smile would be that glow
the halo upon your heart
Everything you were
this smile from inside to show


“The earth hath travailed and brought forth her strength;
And truth is established in her bowels;
And the heavens have smiled upon her;
And she is clothed with the glory of her God;
For he stands in the midst of his people.”
Doctrine and Covenants 84: 101
