whenever I see her smile.....

not that long ago.
She was way over there, I still sat here wondering and praying
if love was alive, if there would be an opening, a way for "us"
not that long ago.

I realized how few times I truly had trusted Him. I realized how tiny my faith was.
I saw all the questions in people's eyes, I saw how tired my husband's eyes were,

But there was always hope in her smile.
I read a thousand thoughts into one smile. She was way over there,
not that long ago.

and then the day came.
The city was strange, the language even stranger, but the strangest was knowing she was behind
one more door.
And then I saw her smile, there were a thousand lights and answers to prayer,
it seemed Mia could share hope with us in that smile!

I will always have the memory that God gives the greatest gifts to us for no reason I deserved
whenever I see her smile......
