Hannah’s Smile

(For Hannah who is wondrous gift of God)

Hannah has a smile,

Hannah has a smile,

Hannah has a smile

As wide as the world!

When Hannah smiles, she

Smiles with the smile of God.

Hannah’s smile, is a perfect smile,

Amazing as the stars of heaven.

Hannah is her own heaven,

A heaven of playing, and laughter.

A heaven of running and

Gleeful (soul-filled) squeals spilling

Out of her whole being.

Hannah’s smile is an infinite

Smile arresting all sense of time.

Hannah’s smile makes time stand still

And angels bow with grace.

Hannah’s smile is a healing smile that

Heals a tender heart.

Her smile is a joyful smile, boundless

Beyond all measure, that

Fills you with the delight of life.

Hannah is a heaven of kisses, of

Small hands and feet

And gentle hugs

And arms to hold you tight with love.

Hannah is the love of two

People falling in love (always, may they fall further still)

Who brought her (as God’s astounding gift)

Into this world.

As a blessing for you,

And for me, and

For all the earth to see.
