A Jewel

By Mike Hall, March 24, 2017

She yearned for time alone with dad.
Time to look into eyes that….for so long…
were preoccupied with everthing
but seeing into hers.

Living thousands of miles away,
time was drawing short and it seemed
that only a miracle could make the time
of this trip count.

Would HE send an angel to warm the
heart and open the eyes of the man…
who…for so long….had been distant
and unavailable.

Could HE turn a switch and help the
man be the man she longed for…..the
one the kids dreamed of….the one who
finally realized that it could be now or never.

Prayers were answered….and somewhere….
deep in his soul….he got it
The man looked into her eyes….and finally he could see
the jewel that had longed soooo deeply for this day.

At last he slowed down and enjoyed the kids….
laughter flowed and all was right in the world
Yes, prayers were answered and the man
reveled in simple joys with boys and his beloved jewel.

Finally, all was right in the world.
