What lies behind the cheery smile,
What tears, that you can’t see,
Spill only in an aching heart?
What sorrows may there be?
Though you may see a cheery face,
Behind it bruises hide.
Don’t take for granted what you see
Is also what’s inside.
Don’t miss the chance to offer grace
To those whom seem so strong;
You never know who hides their pain
Behind a cheery song.
2 Kings 4: 24-25
24 She saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on; don’t slow down for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.
When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite! 26 Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’”
“Everything is all right,” she said.
