Poem
GOD WANTED ANOTHER ANGEL God wanted another angel in heaven at Christmas time To sing the blessed story of the Saviour so Divine, And so He searched the highways, the mountains, and the seas To find that special angel to sing the song of peace. It had to be a person who knew what caring meant, Who knew of love for children, who tiring hours had spent, Who didn’t have much money but shared of what she had, And took the time to cheer one when you were feeling sad. And as He searched, He found one, now aging past her years, Now robbed of all life’s pleasures, and crying out with tears That soon the long, long journey would carry her no more, And she could sing for Jesus up there on heaven’s shore. He’d seen her there, often suffering, as if to see that home Where she’d no longer suffer and never more would roam. She’d waited with such patience as two husbands took your flight Into that precious city where there is no more night, And as the Christmas season began to come once more, She seemed to stare to heaven as in the days of yore And long to be there with them, and her mom and dad to see; The time had seemed so endless, and now, at ninety-three, She longed to be in heaven, so homesick now she seemed As she heard her daughter singing of the place she often dreamed. Then quietly one evening the Saviour said, “It’s time-- It’s time to get my angel for my choir so Divine.” His hand so calm and tender drew out her parting soul And took her home to heaven where now she’s pure and whole. She’ll sing in heaven’s choir this Christmas now, I know, For she was saved and ready for the time that she would go. I’m glad God found that angel He needed for His song, And that He chose my grandma to join that heavenly throng. I’ll surely miss my grandma, but her memories will live on Until the day I join her and from this earth I’m gone. Written in memory of my grandmother.
