Amen

Some people are born with Heaven in their souls,

And their eyes feel like God is smiling on your skin,

And their smile is like Sunday morning.

Their arms aren’t closed like the church doors,

And their fingers hum and harmonize with yours when they touch.

And each word they say zings up your spine,

And your breath quivers and your hands shake,

And your brain can’t calculate, can’t compute,

What you thought wonderful was before.

And sometimes they’ll be just like you and you can’t stop laughing,

And you wonder for a moment if anybody has ever thought you were so beautiful.

Their toenails are seashells and their minds are the ocean,

And you wish you could spend everyday at the beach.

And when you see them just living like everybody else,

You notice they aren’t like them at all.

Hallelujah.
