Jesus' Face

I looked up, into Jesus' face
And He looked into mine.

He put His arm around me
And said, "I'm so glad you're mine.

Let's run around the meadow,
Maybe toss a ball or two.

It's something I've been wanting
And I know, you've wanted, too.

You couldn't do it while on earth,
I'm sorry, you were sad,

But you weren't that way to punish you
You did nothing that was bad.

Sometimes our Father has a plan
That takes a boy like you

To show the world a special Love,
Which only you could do.

You've touched a lot of hearts, my boy
How happy, I could see,

They were to meet and help you!
You gave them Love, from me!"

Then something strange, I felt a shake
and then I realized,

I must have just been dreaming
but I felt different inside.

I was still in my wheelchair,
And I felt tears form in my eyes

But somehow it was different
as I looked up to the skies.

I knew that someday, like my dream,
I'd be up there, in that place

And I'd walk and talk and run and play
And look into Jesus' face

Gage has cerebral palsy
and has very little control
from his shoulders down.
He controls his wheelchair
with his head.
