~A Frail Old Angels Cry~

Last night I had a dream
it had a tale to tell.
I dreamed I saw an angel;
Poor thing, he wasn't well.

His body bruised and battered

His wings were ripped and torn.
This angel could hardly walk,
He was so tired and worn.

I walked right up to him to ask;

Angel? How can this be?
He turned around and paused a bit,
Then he spoke these words to me;

"I'm your quardian angel

A great task as you can see
You've run amok most all your life:
Look what it's done to me."

"These bruises are from shielding you,In times both dire and ill.

Those alcoholic bouts and drugs you've used;
I've often paid the bill."

"How often they have flown you,
These wings all ripped and torn.
To keep you from the dangers;
Of the evils and the scorn."

"Each mark tells it's own story of deadly wounds destroyed.
You made me wish-more than once;
That I was unemployed."

"If only you could make it standing on your own.

Oh, don't you fret and worry,
You'll never be alone."

"But please try to remember

I'm getting old and frail."

I could not believe all that I heard,

Let alone how much he cared.
I wept upon his shoulder,
Then left him in despair.

The next day I sat and pondered:

Should I really try?
And in the distance I thought I heard;

A Frail Old Angel Cry.
