“Being Understood Is Worth a Million Smiles and Lasts Forever” by Joan Y. Edwards

Being understood is a great feeling.
You walk along life’s path.
You meet someone and share a story.
When that person shows they understand exactly how you feel…
Ahh! Being understood is a great feeling.
It is worth a million smiles and lasts forever.

People let you know they understand with words, a smile, a hug, a tear, or a nod.
Your whole world opens up. Things look better.
You shout, “I am understood.
I am alive and well.”
Ahh! Being understood is a great feeling.
It is worth a million smiles and lasts forever

I hope that you have someone who understands you.
Someone who listens to you.
Who understands how you feel and why.
Ahh! Being understood is a great feeling.
It is worth a million smiles and lasts forever.

What? You tell me that no one understands you!
I tell you that God understands how you feel.
He loves you and is always ready to listen to you.
He listens when you are happy.
He listens when you are sad.
He accepts your weaknesses.
He gives you wonderful gifts for your strengths.
He forgives you and is always on your side.
He always has your back.
Being understood is a great feeling.
It is worth a million smiles and lasts forever.
