So Sweet the Gift

So Sweet the Gift



Son racing down the street 
                in his hand a red oak leaf
awesome was his amazement at that
                which he saw God had made
I marvel greatly at the soul
                God had gifted my wife and me
to be able to see God in a simple
                red leaf from a common tree
We both finding God's gifts to be so very sweet
                and magic in so simple a belief!

Written because my son raced into our yard today from school just at end of our street.
 In his hand he had single red leaf. Dad, look what I found! Look what God made!
Knock me over with a feather, that boy got my spirit residing in his heart and soul
and enjoys having the beauty of his mother for all to see. Thank God...
