Wee Willie Sang Amazing Grace


By: Felix L. Perry


 


Wee Willie was a loner


Very little social grace


Never challenged others


In life’s fleeting race


 


Content to feel the sunshine


Or taste the falling rain


Smiled at the children


Some thought he was insane


 


Wee Willie never had a real job


Just odds and ends in town


Never had no real schooling


Yet he never wore a frown


 


He'd sing lines of Amazing Grace


That end “How sweet thou art.”


Most parents worried needlessly


And always kept their kids apart


 


Then one day little Sally May


Strayed along the railway track


Only one man heard her crying


Above the wheel’s clickety-clack


 


Wee Willie saved that little girl


The Angels let him take her place


As the folks all gathered round him


From above they heard “Amazing Grace.”


 


 


They found him crushed and dying


As above they heard “Amazing Grace”

Isn't it amazing how, in this sceptical world, the pure in spirit are so misunderstood? A wonderful portrait, darlin Felix, and a heart-tearing message... Perhaps we can identify ourselves in both our desires to be like Wee Willie, and in our cynicism. As we weep over this story, I am sure it will be with mixed emotions bound up in remorse and admiration. We are all living paradoxes for certain sure. Grace is that quality that is somehow totally humbling and always, ALWAYS truthful and without guile. A very touching pen, Darling. Kate xx

this poem exemplifies how people should not be judged by appearance ... though i can empathize with a parent's concern for their children, sometimes it can prove to be unfounded ...

I agree with Ted on this one Fee~ Amazing write! Your thoughts are in the right place on this one~ It's not what we do, so much, as who we are!
Wee Willie is truly just another angel in disquise...now if we could just get all the "holiday" out of everyone's front brain, we just might see that he never really wears a costume!

Wow, I am Inspired!

Love and Peace~

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
