ANGEL BOY
One day a tiny angel boy
Flew out
of heaven's gate,
He was not discovered missing,
Until it was too
late.
Of course, God was most
disturbed,
About this precious, little soul,
Who got away from
heaven,
Before his time to go.
But God's eye was on this little guy,
Who'd
been wonderfully designed,
Though tiny, he was mighty,
He just needed
growing time.
Yet somehow he slipped through the
gate,
When the gatekeeper's back was turned,
And he made it all the way to
earth,
With wings too small for his return.
He found a perfect mother,
Whose heart
was bigger than he was,
Not even heaven could compete
For such a mother's
love.
The divine love he brought with
him,
Was a love direct from God,
For he still belonged to
heaven,
Though here on earthly sod.
He was so fragile and so helpless,
His
mother's strength not quite enough,
Man's world a strange and frightening
place,
Not like heaven - much too tough.
This child was made by God
In His
image, for His Glory,
No way could earth lay claim to him,
To this
precious, angel boy.
Too young to fly home on his own,
God
sent gentle angels down,
Who swiftly, sweetly carried him
Back home, where
he belonged.
God left a message for his mother,
To
let her know her son and she
Would one day be together,
As sons and
mothers ought to be.
But in the meantime, she should
listen,
And watch up in the sky,
For what she thinks are tiny birds
May
be her sweet angel flying by.
