(Lacey's Song)
The
moment was custom-made to order
I was riding with my daughter on our way
back from Monroe
And like children do, she started
playing
twenty questions
But I never could have guessed one would
touch me to my soul.
She said: "Daddy, when we get to
Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way
Are we going there to visit, or
are we going there to stay
Am I going to see my Grandpa; can I
have a pair of wings
And do you think that God could
use another Angel
To help pour out the rain?"
Well I won't lie; I pulled that car
right over
And I sat there on the shoulder trying
to dry my misty eyes
And I whispered, "Lord, I want to
thank you for my children
'Cause your innocence that fills
them often takes me by surprise."
Like: "Daddy, when we get to
Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way
Are we going there to visit, or
are we going there to stay
Am I going to see my Grandpa; can I
have a pair of wings
And do you think that God could
use another Angel
To help pour out the rain?"
Well I thought about it later on
And a smile came to my face
And when I tucked her in to bed
I got down on my knees and prayed.
"Lord, when I get to Heaven can I taste
the Milky Way
I don't want to come to visit cause
I'm coming home to stay
And I can't wait to see my family
and meet Jesus face to face
And do you think Lord you could
use just one more Angel
To help pour out the rain?"
And
more examples of the innocence of children . . .
A
group of professional people posed this
question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds,
"What does love mean?" The answers
they got were broader and deeper than anyone
could have imagined. See what you think:
***********************************
"When
my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't
bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So
my grandfather does it for her all the time,
even when his hands got arthritis too.
That's love."
Rebecca
- age 8
***********************************
"When
someone loves you, the way they say your name
is different.
You know that
your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy
- age 4
***********************************
"Love
is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts
on shaving cologne and they
go out and smell each other."
Karl
- age 5
************************************
"Love
is when you go out to eat and give somebody
most of your french fries without
making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy
- age 6
************************************
"Love
is what makes you smile when you're
tired."
Terri
- age 4
************************************
"Love
is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and
she takes a sip before giving
it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny
- age 7
************************************
"Love
is when you kiss all the time. Then when you
get tired of kissing, you
still want to be together and you talk more.
My mommy and Daddy are like that. They look
gross when they kiss."
Emily
- age 8
************************************
"Love
is what's in the room with you at Christmas if
you stop opening presents
and listen."
Bobby
- age 7
************************************
"If
you want to learn to love better, you should
start with a friend who you
hate."
Nikka
- age 6
************************************
"Love
is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears
it everyday."
Noelle
- age 7
************************************
"Love
is like a little old woman and a little old man
who are still friends even
after they know each other so well."
Tommy
- age 6
************************************
"During
my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared.
I
looked at all the people
watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing
that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy
- age 8
************************************
"My
mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see
anyone else kissing me to
sleep at night."
Clare
- age 6
************************************
"Love
is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of
chicken."
Elaine - age 6
************************************
"Love
is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and
still says he is handsome."
Chris
- age 7
************************************
"Love
is when your puppy licks your face even after
you left him alone all day."
Mary
Ann - age 4
************************************
"I
know my older sister loves me because she gives
me all her old clothes and
has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren
- age 4
************************************
"I
let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says
she only picks on me
because
she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister
because I love her."
Bethany
- age 4
************************************
"When
you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down
and little stars
come
out of you."
Karen
- age 7
************************************
"Love
is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she
doesn't think it's
gross."
Mark
- age 6
************************************
"You
really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you
mean it. But if you mean
it,
you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica
- age 8
************************************
And
finally . . . An
elderly gentleman had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry,
the
little boy next door went into the old
gentleman's yard, climbed onto his
lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked
him what he had said to
the
neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I
just helped him cry."
Maybe
we can all learn from little children?
