Jump Rope
by A. Paige WhiteI saw Him in the morning light
The light of a fast dawn
After the giddy giggles
in passing by pacing
a blue lighted speed trap
He's jumping rope!
With the joy of a child
in an energy catching
mischieviousness unparalleled
and we ain't seen nothing yet.
He's happy! He's joyous! He's free!
He delights in the games of children
Spinning and spinning
bounding and bouncing ever higher
Forever in His joy I shall be.
A child.
His child.

Author's Note: Thank you, Lord, for stirring the water.
***He had the exact same grin on his face he had when he told Abraham, "You're going to have a big family, Abraham." I just LOVE that grin! It's so full of mischievious understatement ;-}

Once again I like this poem for its simplicity but strong message of showing He is all around us in all that we do! :> |
