He had a sad face,
Really needed a friend.
I almost turned away,
He had Your eyes
So I stayed and cheered him
Back to living.
Then came another,
Long hair,sunken cheeks, empty eyes,
I almost turned away, but then
He touched me, and I felt
Your gentle hands,
So I stayed, and he
Won the battle.
Then came still another,
Struggling to win over poverty
I almost turned away, but then
I saw his face,
He had Your warm and tender smile.
So I stayed, and helped him
Find a better day.
You're always there
In each and every one,
Some little part of You,
To show the magic power
That Love contains.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
