Two days in Alabama
for a child custody hearing.
My son's wife dead, his child lost,
my eyes were tearing.
As we crossed the Mississippi,
Traffic a slow moving train.
Storm clouds gathered thick,
a promise of rain.
Blinding light suddenly appeared,
A single beam cutting through black.
We both stared upward,
mouths gone slack.
My son whispered in awe,
"Is this the Rapture?"
For in the waterfall of color
Jesus' face we saw.
No one else seemed to see
for they drove on, oblivious
to that bridge of steel,
my hands tightly
gripping the wheel.
Rain began to fall
on each side of our car.
Yet not a drop touched
the vehicle, none at all.
Just the cascading light
was all we could see
until we reached
the other side, safely.
My mind often wonders
how I made it across
for I don't remember driving
that five mile span.
But God surely can!
