As the ceremony ended

we were all feeling quite sad

See the service that just finished

was the funeral for my dad

Now my mom doesn’t walk too well

going from here to there

So I was right there with her…

pushing the wheelchair

I notice two close friends, at the aisle,

as we were going by

I told my mom to look… it’s Justin,

Dan & Nette’s little guy

He seemed a little sad

and as she looked, their eyes embraced

He was saying “it’s ok, don’t worry…”

Not with words… but with his face

Time froze for that split second,

as they locked in a silent exchange

Something happened… I don’t know what,

but it really was quite strange

Then with a crooked little smile…

he waved his little hand

Chills were flowing down my back

like white hot grains of sand

Later, mom had mentioned

about the way that Justin smiled

She said I saw him and I felt him,

he is one very special child

It makes you kinda wonder

what this “life “ is all about

The awesome power that comes forth

from just a little kid’s cute pout

He seems to carry something,

something glowing from within

A very special kid he is…

right to the dimple on his chin

Now looking back… I’m not surprised

I knew he’d be that way

See, his parents are special people too…

Thank you guys… you made our day!
