God Smiles
by Kathleen Higham

A place of quiet contentment
Where only God could know
Designed with complete perfection
In her body I would grow.

Then on that very special day
He brought me to this place
Where loving arms held me close
Whispered kisses on my face.

Before my mind understood
He created this exquisite other
Sitting securely on her lap
Smiles when He calls her mother.

Many years have come to pass
As I think lovingly of her
When all else is forgotten
My mother was there for sure.

In those moments of uncertainty
She tended to me with care
Reaching down to pick me up
On her lap a story she'd share.

Her job was so incredible
She stood in for God awhile
Until my heart could understand
And my soul would reconcile.

God was gracious with this gift
There will never be another
On her lap He puts a child
Smiles when He calls her mother.
