I asked the Lord to let me ­see His Spirit and Love today

I perched on a wall to watch what would come my way.

Excited smiles and happy squeals.

Of little girl dressed in her prettiest dress and “high” heels.

Greetings with giggles, hugs of children on tiptoes.

Infant daughters banded with giant pink bows.

Little boys skipping down the hall yelling, “Come on, let’s go this way!”

Big boys and girls begging to visit their old teachers on “Meet the Teacher” day.

Moms and dads holding sweet little hands

Grandmas and papas who understand

It takes all of us to raise our kids

Shy girls and boys peeking from bashful lids.

So much beauty and joy I have seen

My heart is full.
