The Mailman
Reaching out,
Reaching down,
Reaching in.
The mailbox rang,
The mailman sang.
The mail was there for those to share,
He placed it in the bag with care.
Reaching out,
Reaching down,
Reaching in.
The mailman placed the bag in the truck.
His face tingled with a grin.
He reflected with the envelopes,
He repented from sin,
How the people would receive a present from within.
