Dustin Reed (Dusty) - 1990
Angels come in many forms.
Some even look angelic with a peanut butter and jam smeared face.
Our angel Dusty gives an angel's smile
By clenching his eyes shut and offering
His rosebud mouth for a kiss.
Busy! Busy! Busy!
Not a moment of his life must be wasted.
He trots from task to task.
Sometimes I cannot go fast enough for him
And he grabs my hand and impatiently
Pulls me with him on his next adventure.
Upstairs - Downstairs.
Where's the cookie jar? Where's Grandpa?
Hugging Checkers, the dog, then taking
Dino, the dinosaur, from the coffee table,
And telling his secrets to the silent friend.
When the angel tires, he slows down and seeks
Daddy's arms or Mommy's lap, snuggling his
Face against theirs. They find that he really does
Open the 'Gates of Heaven' for them and he often
Lets us all glimpse that place
That sent him to dwell in our midst.
