The Night Angel

Six am I heard a knock Tired as I was I open my eyes With a glimpse and a sigh I saw an angel by my side. He look at me Nodded his head Shed a tear And muttered my 'child'. In fear, I replied Father who am I With a response He opened his mouth. Began to declare You were given a choice Made in God's image to overcome Whatever may come. Take up your cross Stop trying to be your own boss Lift your head Put your hands to the sky Say a pray Don't be afraid Ask God to show you the way Before you go astray.
