For 's P'... Because She Asked Poem by r james sterzinger

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?
