SMILE STRAIGHT FROM GOD
TODAY WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS,
THINGS WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE,
BUT I GOT KNOCKED BACK DOWN A PEG,
WITH A SMILE STRAIGHT FROM GOD,
I WOKE THIS MORNING, IN ONE OF THOSE MOODS,
FELT LIKE CRAP, HAD SO MUCH TO DO,
WANTED TO EAT BREAKFAST AT THE FLAMES,
THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORTIES YOU SEE,
THEN RUN TO WAL~MART FOR THINGS WERE LEFT YESTERDAY,
WELL THE FLAMES WAS FULL AS USUAL,
AND I DID NOT WANT TO WAIT ALL DAY,
THEY HAVE THE BEST FOOD, BUT WANTED TO BEAT THE TRAFFIC,
SO ON TO THE BANK, THEN THE RIDE TO THE STORE,
TRAFFICE WAS REALLY LIGHT FOR A CHANGE,
AND THAT WAS COOL BY ME, IT MAKES ME NERVOUS,
ON TO WAL~MART, IN AND OUT LIKE A FLASH,
THE RIDE BACK WAS LIKE NOTHING AT ALL,
WE STOPPED BACK BY THE FLAMES TO EAT,
THEY WERE STILL FULL TO THE STREET,
BUT WAS CHOSE TO WAIT, WE WERE STRAVING BY NOW,
FINALLY THEY CALL OUR NAME, THEN GET OUR FOOD,
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE WAITRESSES WAS A NICE TREAT,
AFTER WE FINISH, WE WERE HEADED STRAIGHT HOME,
WALKING OUT THROUGH THE PARKING LOT,
I HAPPENED TO SEE, A COUPLE WITH SEVERAL SMALL CHILDREN,
WALKING ALONG LIKE A FAMILY SHOULD, THEN OUT OF THE BLUE,
THERE WAS THIS NASTY NOISE, WHAT IN THE HELLLLLL.....
I TURN IN SLOW MOTION ONLY TO SEE, A FORD SUV SPINNING AROUND,
HEAD FOR THE DRIVEWAY OF THIS PLACE TO EAT, PEOPLE WALKING,
KIDS, PARENTS, OLDER PEOPLE OFF TO EAT THEIR SUNDAY MEAL,
I WAS THINKING THIS COULD BE BAD, THANK GOD THERE WAS A POLE,
THAT STOPPED THIS VEHICLE, HELPED TO STOP THE LADY IN THE LEBARON,
THE OTHER INVOLVED IN THIS ACCIDENT, PARENTS AND THREE CHILDREN,
IN THE SUV, I NOTICED THE KIDS ALL HAD SEAT BELTS ON,
WAY TO GO TO THE COUPLE WITH LOVE FOR THEIR KIDS,
THE LADY IN THE LEBARON, OK HONEY, YOU CAN'T QUIT WITH THE HYSTERIA,
IT'S OK, YOU WERE NOT HURT, AND YOUR CAR, WELL YOU DO HAVE GOOD INSURANCE,
DON'T YOU???????????? THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HIT IN THE SUV SAY THEY ARE ALL GOOD TO GO,
NO ONE SEEMS REALLY HURT RIGHT NOW, WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY, OH BOY, HURT ALL OVER,
IT WAS THE WEIRDEST THING, TO SEE THESE PEOPLE ALL RUNNING AROUNG,
MEN WITH THEIR CELL PHONES, EVEN ONE IN THE MIDDLE WITH A CHILD ON HIS ARM,
NOTHING FOR US TO DO, NOTHING TO SAY, WE TRUN TO WALK BACK TO THE CAR,
AND THERE IS THAT COUPLE WITH THOSE MIGHTY CUTE KIDS, WALKING JUST HEAD OF US,
AS WE NEAR THEM, THE SMALLEST LITTLE GIRL STOPS RIGHT IN OUR WAY,
I REACH OUT AND TOUCH HER SHOULDER, TO KEEP HER OUT OF THE LINE OF A CAR,
SHE SMILES AT ME, WITH EYES OF LOVE, AND THAT SMILE HAD TO BE,
THE SMILE STRAIGHT FROM GOD,
FOR I FEEL IN MY HEART, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THIS CHILD,
ATTRACTING ME TO HER PRESENSE IN THE FIRST PLACE,
THESE WORDS MIGHT NOT HAVE EVER SEEN PAPER,
WHEN SHE LOOKED AT ME, PUT OUT HER ARMS,
I REACHED DOWN AND PICKED HER UP, SHE SMILED AGAIN,
HUGGED MY NECK, THEN WENT TO HER FATHER,
THE LAST THING I DID BEFORE I GOT IN THE CAR,
WAS TO LOOK AT THIS CHILD ONE MORE TIME,
FOR I AM SURE, I WILL NEVER BE CLOSER TO A LIVING ANGEL,
IF IT WERE NOT FOR HER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING,
RIGHT WHERE THE CARS INVOLVED IN THIS,
CALLED THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACE, SO YOU SEE,
SOMETIMES YOU DO NEED TO STOP AND WATCH A CHILD,
SMELL THE ROSES, JUST DO SOMETHING YOU DON'T AWAYS DO,
YOU NEVER KNOW, IT MIGHT BE JUST THE THING, TO KEEP YOU,
OUT OF HARMS WAY.......
