baby angel boy had one task

baby angel boy had one task today
He had to choose his parents or heaven-stay

He watched the potential couples all day long
none seemed perfectly right, they all seemed wrong

Then he saw a child who needed a brother.
He prayed for a baby boy, with his grandmother.

Baby angel boy told the angels he had chosen and felt wise.
When this couple found out, it was an enormous surprise.

They had been told they could not have another child.
But God is good, and prayers are answered whether tame or wild.
