The weather was freezing outside, and then out of nowhere

it had begun to rain.

My little hands and feet felt as if they were frozen; on

her heavenly face, I saw the pain.

Standing on the sidewalk, we waited; we waited for an eternity 

for at least one cab driver to come.

As the wind nipped away igniting a freezing hell to 

torment our bodies, I still hoped for at least one.

In the distance my little peepers saw one driving

towards us with its in-service lights on.

Hidden in the shadows was a European couple standing 

with fur coats on keeping them warm.

Sticking her arm outward to get the driver’s attention

was the angel who pulled me close,

Looking into her only Son’s eyes, with a smile that glowed.

Then the driver of the cab passed us by when he approached.
