Angel White

So you want to be an angel? The good Lord said to me, Do you think it will be easy To be spiritual and free? He said "I guess we'll try it" So he sent me here to live, He told me I would learn a lot On how to take, and how to give. He set up many hardships That I really must endure, He made sure I wasn't rich, He made sure that I was poor. He didn't give me good looks, He didn't make me smart, He just gave me the very basics To go ahead and start. It's been many years That he's let me stay around, He hasn't called me home as yet He's seen me smile, he's seen me frown. I often stop and think Have I passed the angel test, Have I done all I can Have I tried my very best? And when he calls me home Sometime late at night, Will he send me back again Until I get it right? Or will he let me have my wings, My halo gold, and bright, Will I get to wear that lovely gown That gown of Angel White...... Lynn Barany
