I saw an angel today.
A small little boy was he
So trusting and open with his smile
And hand giving a happy wave
Joyfully beaming at me
As he took Mom's hand
And toddled on by.
So beautiful was such joy to see
Innocent of the world's wiles
Enthusiasm spilling forth in a broad smile
From a heart innocent and pure
Blessing the very heart of me.
Would that each of us would keep
That joyful expectancy
That everyone is my friend
And all is right with the world.
Open, happy and free
Was that precious little boy
Who eagerly waved at me
Leaving a heart print
That was heaven sent.
Mom trudged on with no hint
Of the joy her little son sent
To bless my day
In a very special way.
I sent praise to my Lord
For the special joy on display
Of the precious child
Sharing with me a delightful smile
Cheering me this day.
