~ Angel Wings ~

A little angel got her wings,
So perfectly they did fit.
But while learning how to fly,
You wouldn't believe the things she hit.

She rearranged a few stars,
Bumped the colors of the rainbow.
She even crashed into the milky way,
'Cause she was flying way too low.

God was smiling as he watched her fly,
Knowing that soon she'd take flight.
All the angels held their breath,
They thought it to be a pitiful sight.

Up and down and all around,
Just sailing through the sky.
Sometimes going a little low,
And sometimes a little too high.

Soon all the angels were laughing,
And God was laughing too.
This little angel wasn't giving up,
Although she knew not quite, what to do.

You could see her determination,
Of getting it all just right.
Soon those little angel wings,
Were taking off in flight.

You should see that little smile,
That set her face aglow.
She was so very proud,
She wanted all of Heaven to know.

It was like those angel wings,
Had been hers all along.
God knew this little angel,
Would soon make right the wrong.

You can hear those wings flapping,
If you really want to my dear,
She is now someone's angel,
As she hovers near !!
