A bouquet of people

I picked a bouquet of people

along my route today,

I gave them to our Father

without knowing what to say.

I told Him that I loved them,

was worried about their care,

that this was why I brought them

and wanted to leave them there.

Our Father took them from me,

looked at each one in their turn,

when He smiled and held them close,

asked what I wanted in return.

I told Him I’d like nothing more

than His Fatherly embrace,

so each one of these friends of mine

could look upon His face.
