Angels

The rain came down It continued the whole day Wind blew strong too Beat against the house More than hundred years old The roof couldn't bear It came down in slabs On the second floor It was in the middle of night A family of four was asleep In the very second floor All awoke and was stunned The whole floor they found Covered by massive debris Only their room was unaffected The rest was under the rubbish As they were nervously coming down A flash of light caught their eyes Contour of a lovely face With a raised palm of pink hope It must be the Angel Said the twelve year old girl We love our neighbours So she came to save us The whole family agreed As they looked on The beauty travelling to the stars By then the rain had stopped The father told confidently It was the Mother -- Mother Teresa I too think so, said the mother Their eyes on the residual light Angel saves the family Was the news in next day's daily Most people said: Amen A few laughed away too September 7, 2017
