A Grown-Ups Prayer

Dear Father, can you spare an Angel to be with me today, I am not a little child, I’m grown up in many-a-way. I said I wouldn’t bug you, many years ago, But my mind is set on that Angel I had wanted so. I’m not that little child who just wanted to pretend, I sometimes feel so lonely and need another friend. Father, I have respect for you and love beyond compare, But do you have an Angel, that with me you will share. The Answer My dear grown up child, my answer has to stand, I will not send an Angel from the promised land. My good Book I have sent you and music you can sing, I will not single out just one, and give them everything. But one thing I can promise, my Angel will visit you, When your life is over, my Heaven will be in view. So live your life for Jesus the way you aught to do, For my Angels up in Heaven are certainly watching you. The Reply Thank you dear Father, this time I really understand, I will not have an Angel till I go to the glory land. I will strive to do what’s right and just be satisfied, To live for you dear Father and the Lord who was crucified. I will never plead with you for an Angel anymore, I know they have to stay around Heaven’s golden door. Thank you for your patience, you have been tolerant of me, Father, hold your thought on my Angel, if it pleases Thee.
