Signs
Walking onto the ball field and taking first base
As to my son I yield as short stop would be his place
Needing something to draw the base that wasn't there
In order to catch the ball and in keeping things fair
And as soon as I look down there it would lay
Laying in dirt so brown as spirit works in a different way
A pen knife of blue that I knew my father had sent
I already knew this was true and knew exactly what it meant
But as I look at the other side seeing what the name said
My eyes opened wide and wonder danced in my head
Angel was clearly written as like a giant tear in my eye
Yea and I was really smitten but didn't have time to cry
As soon my son would cry out that he wanted to trade places
Oh there should never be a doubt as to our own many graces
But in trading places before I can even turn around
A decade rosary in all it's graces is the first thing that I found
Coincidence is what some say as many still don't believe
But with that rosary I pray for it is for those that I grieve
I'm sure Angel was there with his very Catholic friend
But I'm also sure God used the pair in accomplishing this end
