Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Heaven Sent

At bedtime he closes his eyes
Thru meadows chases butterflies
Sunshine in his hair
Free without a care
He’s ten and innocent
Surely heaven sent
Each night distant stars he touches
Leaves behind his crutches
The soul of a budding drummer
Liberated thru fields of summer
Recurring dreams of running free
And like his friends he climbs a tree

Panagiota Line Gauthier May 19, 2019 at 3:42 PM Thank you so much for the lovely compliment and FAV'ing my poem, Panagiota. This poem is actually about my husband who got polio as a toddler and has been on crutches all his life. Around the tender age of 10 he needed a serious operation on his legs. It means a lot that you FAVE'd this poem.
