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
