I Saw God But Now What?
One day, when my son was two,
he said, seemingly out of the blue,
"Daddy, I love you."
Inexplicably, I felt a jolt,
as if struck by a gentle lightning bolt.
I looked into his eyes
and to my shock and surprise,
they were glowing,
like bright sunshine showing.
I kept thinking "That's odd",
but, upon reflection, realized that I had seen God.
He was revealing Himself in my son's beautiful face.
But what did I do to deserve His grace?
My life has been no remarkable tale;
many times I've struggled, many times I've failed.
Through my memories I search and sift;
Why, what have I ever done to earn this gift?
Maybe, just maybe, it's the knowledge that I have a good heart,
and God said "You're a good dad. You're doing your part."
