Sweet Angels On Earth

Just before eight In peace I await Birds now settling down A distant sound of palm on palm Thanks sent with love to you all For those who go beyond the call Our applause getting louder For we could not be prouder Then cheers And tooting Then tears And shouting Thanking you all with each clap of our hands Guardian Angels keep you strong Guardian Angels keep you safe Sweet angels on earth To us all you are worth More than money can ever buy On this moonlit night Sent with love from up high Stardust and moonbeams Rain down from the sky… Written on 2nd April 2020 After our second thank you (by clapping) for all our wonderful NHS staff who are working so hard during this very challenging time… Contest Strand Choice Y Sponsor Brian Strand 3rd Place Contest Coronavirus Covid19 Sponsor Team Poetry Soup
