Glimpses of Heaven
Updated: Aug 15, 2022
Your eyes grew redder at grass stained pants
Those pants were just bought new
Stained as your child, she laughed and rolled
And ran smiling straight to you
The ball bounced way too close to me
Interrupted my train of thought
A dad plays catch with his son nearby
His sense of pride is what I caught
A woman’s plate couldn’t hold her food
It all splattered on the ground
Her elder mom brought her a brand new dish
And moms love is what she found
The dark cloud cut across the sun
Brought raindrops to the day
But smiles and music did not depart
I’m glad I chose to stay
It’s never perfect, It’s never clean
It’s sometimes more than we can bear
But if we choose to look just a little more
Heaven‘s always already there
