Backing Into God's Light
The lonely Angel fought the pangs of hunger,
he has wasted years of blood and sweat in the dark battle,
but he didn’t mind it at all,
God gave him a signal, and he had answered the call.
he would fight for God until the very end,
he was dedicated and full of faith,
although he was injured in the battle,
he didn't let on,
God could tell from watching his agonizing gait,
but the Angel knew it would be far more painful to lose,
his injuries would heal after a few hours of sleep,
he just knew that he couldn’t give up protecting God’s sheep,
so fighting would only free the bright light
it gave him the strength that filled his might,
and he would not surrender, and he didn’t give up,
because when the dark fills his night,
death would have him backing into God’s light.
