Tah-ay Inna Win ...


[... translation: Tree In The Wind --- from the film "Nell"]

The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear.

A MEETING WAS HELD FAR FROM EARTH
IT'S TIME AGAIN FOR ANOTHER BIRTH

So the man yelled "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky. But the man
did not listen.


SAID THE ANGELS TO THE LORD ABOVE
THIS SPECIAL CHILD WILL NEED MUCH LOVE
HIS PROGRESS MAY BE VERY SLOW
ACCOMPLISHMENTS HE MAY NOT SHOW

The man looked around and said, "God let me see you" and a star shined brightly.
But the man did not notice.

AND HE'LL REQUIRE EXTRA CARE
FROM THE FOLKS HE MEETS DOWN THERE

And the man shouted, "God show me a miracle" and a life was born.
But the man did not know.

HE MAY NOT RUN, OR LAUGH OR PLAY
HIS THOUGHTS MAY SEEM QUITE FAR AWAY
IN MANY WAYS HE WON'T ADAPT
AND HE'LL BE KNOWN AS HANDICAPPED
SO LETS BE CAREFUL WHERE HE'S SENT,
WE WANT HIS LIFE TO BE CONTENT.

So the man cried out in despair,
"Touch me God, and let me know you are there"

PLEASE LORD FIND THE PERSON WHO WILL DO
THIS SPECIAL JOB FOR YOU
THEY MAY NOT REALIZE STRAIGHT AWAY
THE LEARNING ROLE THEY'RE ASKED TO PLAY,

Whereupon God reached down and touched the man.
But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

BUT WITH THIS CHILD SENT FROM ABOVE
COMES STRONGER FAITH AND RICHER LOVE ...

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.

Hello,
Thank you for the kind words. Do I read souls? Well, not sure exactly what that means.
The poem was written by the parent of an autistic child, who remains unknown. The poet and the child. The Man Who Cried Out To God and failed to hear/see was written by an unknown individual. I could not find proper attribution for either. When reading them on the same day, the two just begged to be brought together. :o)
However, the authors remain anonymous.

Are you related to Moe, Mazooley Magoo? lol ...
