1.
she asked you for a happy poem
then while eating lunch
you cracked a tooth and
lost a filling in another....
2.
at fifty-two
missing teeth
isn't all that bad
as long as the sun shines
the flowers are sweet
the wine is still cheap,
friends are forgiving
birds still remember their tune in the morning
and the dentist will see you early Monday...
3.
the magic of days
is still reflected in the promise
of the eyes of children
lighting candles
on Sunday morning
at the Orthodox Church
because they believe in Jesus and mommy
4.
God proves He is good and believes in you
because you just got away with writing a poem
under the choir loft
on a Sunday morning
while the sun shines through the stain glass
at nine am with the choir singing...
5.
the little one year old girl with the perky ponytail
and the big brown eyes
that just drooled on her daddy's shoulder
has smiled at you,
reminded you,
that maybe you aren't such an ugly old toad
after all..
6.
now isn't that the beauty of God?
