With vibrant eyes and joyful smile
She brightens every room
Her sunny laugh and cheerful style
Unending, I presume.

*

Quiet as a cat,
She sits as still as night;
And as the curls fall round her face
As soft and light as lace,
A smile glows out from brown eyes,
Appearing bright and wise.
And where she sat
Warmth could be found
In that pretty sight
Spreading all around
The beauty of a lily, white
So purely shedding light.

*

She gently lifts a sleepy child
Who rests his tired head
Upon her long-enduring arm;
She smiles and softly sings.
This girl, so merry, meek, and mild
Is filled with joy that seeks to head
Off any harm
And any hurt
That comes to break her peace.
And so she sings.

*

Peace and love,
Joy unbound,
Hope from above,
Grateful sound—
All bring glory to the Father.
