I Saw a Child
I saw a child who couldn't walk,
Then sit on a horse, laugh and talk.
He rode it through a field of daisies
and yet he could not walk unaided.
I saw a child, no legs below,
sit on a horse, and make it go
through woods of green
and places he had never been
to sit and stare,
except from a chair.
I saw a child who could only crawl
mount a horse and sit up tall
Put it through degrees of paces
and laugh at the wonder in our faces.
I saw a child born into strife,
take up and hold the reins of life.
And that same child was heard to say,
"Thank God for showing me the way...
