It's a Wonderful Life

Somewhere in the distance
  rings a silver bell,
far away, yet strangely near,
  a festive carousel.
Turning cartwheels in my mind,
  playing music to my ears,
throwing rainbow-coloured stardust
  in a cloud of snowdrop tears.
The sweetest choir breathes a sigh,
  in perfect tune it sings,
the bells chime out a melody,
  an angel gets her wings.
And I can only bow and smile
  and pray it will not end;
for it's truly a wonderful life
  with an angel for a friend.
