 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| AN ANGEL LEANED OVER OUR BABYS PRAM, ITS WINGS WERE SHINEY ITS HAIR WAS GOLD.OUR BABY SMILED AND CHUCKLED AWAY.THE ANGEL SMILED BUT HAD NOTHING TO SAY. I FELT QUITE SHY, AND SLIPED AWAY TO PLAY. OUR DAD CAME IN FROM WORK, QUITE CALM, HE DIDNT SHOUT, OR SWEAR AT MY MOM.HE SAT INTHE CHAIR, HIS FACE ALL SOFT. MY MOM CAME IN AND SAT DOWN TOO, SHE TOLD HIM SHE HAD COOKED HIS FAVOURITE DINNER STEW. MY BROTHER CAME IN WE DIDNT FIGHT, HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD HELP HIM FLY HIS KITE. I WONDER IF HE HAD SEEN THE ANGEL AS WELL. BUT NO ONE WAS SAYING ANYTHING OR OFFERED TO TELL. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| YOUR DAD | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I CRIED FOR YOUR DAD ON THE SOMME, A YOUNG LAD, WHO SHOULD HAVE STILL BEEN HOME WITH HIS MOM. HE WAS SO BRAVE, YET AFRAID, THAT SOON HIS YOUNG LIFE WOULD BE GONE.MAY BE HE PRAYED AND MADE PROMISES TO GOD.AS HE WAS STANDING KNEE HIGH IN MUD. HE DID COME HOME FROM THE WAR, AND MARRIED THE GIRL FROM NEXT DOOR,HIS HEALTH WAS GONE. YET HE FATHERED A SON, AND A DAUGHTER,AND ANOTHER AND MORE. HIS ELDEST SON WAS NAMED CLEM, WHO HIMSELF WENT TO WAR, AND YET THEN,ONE DAY HE FOUND GOD THROUGH JESUS HIS SON AND TESTIFIED TO HIS DAD ALSO NAMED CLEM.MAYBE GOD ANSWERED PRAYER ON THAT DAY, FROM A YOUG MAN WHO FOUGHT ON THE SOM, AS HIS SON TOLD HIM THE WAY, THAT HE COULD GET RIGHT WITH HIS GOD. THIS TIME HE WAS READY TO DIE, AS HE LAY ON HIS BED OF PAIN. AS HE OPENED HIS HEART TO HIS LORD,AND KNEW HE HAD HEAVEN TO GAIN....... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
