Going To School In Heaven

I would be taught many things, what love brings, but difficult to fly without a pair of wings, I was instructed in compassion and forgiveness, to cherish, value, adore and gently caress. They said that I would go to the stars and other places, no one knew that an angel's heart races; my friends Gabriel and Michael were so clever, I completed my 'heavenwork' with their endeavour. Anne and Catherine said: 'Be careful what you fly in, not too loose clothing, in case you get in a flap, when you've settled, you can give your own instruction, then deliver your pearls of wisdom ad infinitum.' I graduated with flying colours - blue, white and gold, so that I couldn't be seen in the sunset, I was told.
