~A Frail
Old Angels Cry~![](https://www.angelfire.com/ca3/sereni

Last night I had a dreamit
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 seeYou'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.![](https://www.angelfire.com/ca3/sereni
