Little Johnny

In the face of my little baby boy

I see the wonderful joy

Of just being alive.

I thank God I have him

To give me that view,

For it is so easy for me

To lose sight of what’s true

The joy of the simple

The joy of the new

The joy that is so refreshing

I see it shining through

The face of my little boy

The Heart’s Potential

The heart that has been the hardest,

the most captive by fear, pain and loss,

is the same heart

that when set free

has the potential

to love

the deepest

the greatest

and the strongest

because it never takes the ability to love

for granted.
