Fallen Angel

My guardian angel reached for me
And tumbled right beneath a tree.

When I espied him on the ground,
It was as if I had been bound.

I couldn’t reach him lying there.
I feared he’d think I didn’t care.

As I stared with astonished eyes,
A big arm plucked him to the skies.

I wonder if God scolded him
For leaning over Heaven’s rim.



“Angels descending from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.” by: Fanny J Crosby
