"I heard an angel speak last night and he said "write" Elizabeth Barrett Browning I heard an angel speak and he said write I wasn’t sure just what I heard Did he utter just one word I sat and pondered there throughout the night The thought of course occurred Did he really say a word And just what did he mean when he said write Did he mean get out my pen Put down my thoughts right then Or did he mean to point me to his right For right there on the ground Was a tombstone I now found The name upon the tombstone was my own I knelt there at his feet And when our eyes did meet I knew he meant it’s time that I atone So still there on my knees I asked the angel – please To help me change my life that very night This time I’m sure I heard Again that single word I heard an angel speak and he said “right” Mike Dailey 6/16/11 Contest: Angels in Cemeteries - 7th place finish
