baptism day

 I was attending the baptism of my grandchildren, henry and audrey. they were both very young. I will never forget this exchange in the sanctuary of the church.


“Do you see them, Daddy?”

He asked with a cherubic smile on his face

As he looked up

Fully ready to embrace

The miracle of Angels

Overhead, all around

The fluttering of wings

Not making a sound

I’ll never forget

His words or his face

As we sat side by side

In that Spiritual Place

With a look of awe

And wonder too

“Do you see them, Daddy”

Henry asked, “Do you?”
