On this winters night... I have a story for you, <br />it`s a tale about a man... who`s happiness, he never knew. <br /> <br />He lived a life all be it alone, <br />to himself of his lonely misfortune... he would often grumble and groan. <br /> <br />Then one night with a harsh frost set in, <br />a knock on his door...disturbs his meal, he wipes the food from his chin. <br /> <br />He slowly opens the door with wonder and fear, <br />who would knock? who would come here? <br /> <br />His eyes are filled with such a delight, <br />as before him is an Angel... shrouded by magnificent light. <br /> <br />He stands back to see this glorious glow, <br />this beautiful sight... his eyes just did not know. <br /> <br />A simple smile with an understanding look, <br />gave him more meaning... more than words from any book. <br /> <br />Then quick as a flash, the Angel an light did just go, <br />leaving glistening stars.. falling gently like snow. <br /> <br />He did not even think... to invite the Angel in, <br />concerned more about...the food still on his chin. <br /> <br />His house lost in dust and mess, <br />to invite someone in...would make himself feel less. <br /> <br />So touched by the magic in all that he did just see, <br />where warmth and love seemed abundant and free. <br /> <br />Now blessed with this sight and feeling in such ore, <br />he grabs a mop...and starts cleaning the floor. <br /> <br />Because you never know...when an angel may come to Your door.<br /><br />James Irwin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/finding-a-reason-2/
