Heaven's Smile

I know it can't be easy for her
moving about the world with legs
that won't always obey her
that tire and weaken
and can't carry her where she wishes to go.
Yet she always glows with hope
you can see it on her face
in those tranquil blue eyes that tell me it's okay.
And gazing into them I understand
my angel child doesn't need legs
for she glides through the world on wings.
She's just one small token
of God's love and grace
my precious little gift from above.
