A Taste
God gave me another taste of heaven today.
Sitting in a restaurant
suddenly
yet so gently
aware
aware
of the deep beauty
profound beauty
and goodness
of my son
his smile
his energy
his sense of justice
his passion
and the tears flowed
awareness that my only response could be and was
gratitude
so deep that voices cannot make it sound
silent
holy song of angels
where “Thank you” can only be expressed
with the depths of my being.
I am gratitude
I am in God
I am in heaven
through this gift of awareness
God is revealed to Godself
through me, to me,
and I receive confirmation
that my eternal purpose is to be an angel.
