The Elevator Ride

Her mother fell ill And was close to death So this is the tale Of her final breath A friend of mine A long time ago Told this story You all must know Her mother lay dying In her hospital bed When she opened her eyes These words were said There they stand Can't you see Two angel's in white Smiling at me There in the corner At the foot of my bed Her daughter thought morphine Was filling her head Her daughter caught the elevator And climbed aboard A voice said stand at attention For a saint of the Lord She couldn't move No matter how hard she tried And when the elevator stopped Her mother had died Her mother was gone But wasn't alone For two angel's had taken her Straight to God's Throne (This is a true story)
