Innocence

Teresa Mahieu

upon the dawn
of the blind child's sight,
an angel sang
while in flight,
a deaf child heard
this angel's song,
and for the first time ever
sang along.
this angel was
their precious host,
sent to them
by the holy ghost.
and now forever
these innocent three,
are joined together
Eternally.
