I was awakened one rainy night
My mood was startled and full of fright
but to my surprise and utter delight
I saw 2 angels gleaming in light
they smiled and waved it would be ok
if i'd let myself go and let GOD have his way
should happen tommorrow, but if I behave today
My Lord would turnabout this mess if I continue to pray
Eyes up, knees bent tears on this trail
moistening the harshness of this tale
of how they got wings and I'd failed
to get mine still so I wail
Begging forgiveness from a powerless source
who in himself is merely showing remorse
retracing the steps of this deadly course
we both realize together,implement and endorse
that there were no faults, only painful lessons learned
and that we need to soak them up for our wings to be earned
and that this is no task that's easily discerned
Praying to release some of the naivete that burned
our babies from our arms and these holes in our souls
and left us with only one to endure the tides and holds
on to us as tightly as one could ever imagine which molds
our family closely nit until our blood runs cold
