Life's Thoroughfare

On Life's busy thoroughfare
   We meet with angels unaware.
I've never seen God, but I know how I feel
   It's people like you that mkes God so real.

My God is no stranger, He's friendly and gay.
   And He doesn't ask me to weep when I pray
It seems that I pass Him so often each day
   In the faces of people i meet on the way.

He's the stars in the heavens--a smile on His face,
   A leaf on a tree, a rose in a vase.
He's winter and autumn, and summer and spring
   In short, He's the most wonderful thing.

I wish I could meet Him much more than I do ...
  I would, if there were more people like you.

My mother wrote this and sent it to me more than 40
years ago.  I just came across it. Mom's poem was not intended as such a poem but only words of encouragement to me. I later put it in the form which you now have.
