Shepherd One

As His plane landed on the tarmac on and on the band had played The people He does attract in such an act of love being displayed Greeting all the dignitaries and others who are in front of the line We all have our own worries wanting to know that all will be fine Waving to in blessing the crowd humanity now becoming the sea The Rocky theme playing really loud and everyone filled with glee But so soon must He now depart as He has a busy schedule ahead So many with tears in the heart and this with barely a word said The band playing another song Our Pontiff being led by a Philly Cop And then for what we all long the whole motorcade comes to a stop As the Pope walks over to the side to meet a little boy Michael Keating The family looked on and cried, as so many would during this meeting And the smile on Michaels face and the crowd who were all filled in joy A bright ray of God's Golden Grace shinning through this one little boy You had to so feel the Lord today in His Way coming to your very heart Under all those clouds of gray with the Lord's Love how easily they depart http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tears-disabled-son-of-band-leader-blessed-by-pope-francis/article/2572885
