The following poem appears in the book:

Have You?

Sometimes it makes me wonder

about the people whom I meet;

those I find in a quiet church,

or on a busy street;

hurrying and scurrying,

being kind and doing good,

the way that well we know,

God has ordained we should.

Yet, sometimes, we meet someone

with a special word to say,

And when they do we wonder,

did an angel come our way?

We see no angelic wings,

and hear no heavenly choir;

yet something in the way they look,

 — familiar, not odd  —

Leaves us with a sense

Of having briefly met with God.
