~ Celebration of Secret Smiles ~
Who are the true heroes shining forth
Hidden silently behind the glory,
Laboring unselfishly
Their offering an untold story.
Quietly loving, as soft angels unseen
Giving, unaware that others needs
Are placed before their own,
For the good of all that needs to be.
Why are they so selfless
Filled with a meekness never known,
Where do they find that secret smile
Always gently shown.
How do they labor on
While others rise as first of all,
Unaware, glowing the spirit of Jesus
Giving all the more.
We will honor them, the truly beautiful
And their fragrant faith forever sweet
For the love of God they freely give,
Is the spring
Where hearts and lives and countries
Are made complete.
What we do, more than anything we say,
reveals what we truly value the most.
-David McCasland
He who has learned to pray has learned
the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.
