"Adrift With the Angels"

cji
9/22/99

Verse 1
********

There was no sound
it was peaceful and still
no one moved around
it was as if it were His will.

Verse 2
********

Yet the child on the floor
pointed with glee in the air
not noticing to open or close the door
the excitements caused us to stare.

Verse 3
********

Then as if by magic above
we were adrift with angels found
filling the room with their love
while we simply in honor fell to the ground.

Verse 4
********

But for the child to notice such
we would have remained blind
to the wonders of Father's touch
which in our hearts did shine.

Verse 5
********

Adrift with the angels today
were the children while at play
in the evening they did kneel to pray
and rehearse unto Father all they saw to say.

Verse 6
********

Makes one remember the simple things
which seem more important now to feel
such as when the angel softly sings
and mother's gentle kiss a wound to heal.

Verse 7
********

Wherever did we grow so old
as to forget the childlike love
which is forever and ever bold
to the Father and Son above?

Verse 8
********

Adrift with the angels to play
all the more reason to listen to the call
of the still small voice to say
'Come one unto to me, come all.'
