As you walked to the park
With our son
And his beloved
Your happiness
Radiated like a supernova
I suspect the work crew
Down the street
We’re hit with a wave
Of tenderness as you
Passed close by
Wondering to themselves
What is happening
As the wave of
Your joy swept through
Them thinking it’s just
About the holiday tomorrow
Unaware of the force of
Your goodness
Making the world a
Better place
