I Saw You
I saw you
in that toothless smile
of the down on his luck stranger
when I offered him
my juicy pinkish ripe peach
left over from my afternoon lunch
oh how his smile shined so
I saw you
in that twinkle in my daughter's eye
as I chased her around the park
climbing up and down the slides
across the wavering bridges
through the tubes and tunnels
playing a simple game of tag
oh how those eyes twinkled with love
I saw you
in that couple walking on the sandy beach
hand in hand
under the setting sky
the rich hues of yellow, orange, and red
floating in the clouds up high
oh how their passion radiated
I saw you
in that first lily of the spring
opening up so fresh and new
brightening up my garden
each tepal trumpeting a treasured song
oh how magnificent was it's sight
I see you in all that's around
in nature's beauty abound
in kindness, in love, in angelic faces
I see you in all of God's good graces
I see you
