for assignment
so I had no choice.
God commanded
to me
in his golden voice
"Take thee into your arms
and under
your wing.
Reunite this man
with his family
so they can bring
the closure
of a meeting
on the other side
for the last member
of this family
who just died."
None of the other angels
wanted
this gig
so I knew the burden to be immense
and my responsibility
was big.
It was a moment to dread
but I accepted
my role
by being
the lowest angel
on the totem pole.
I wish the cancer project
could find
a cure.
How many more
tragedies
can one endure?
As an angel
of mercy
and God's love
I'm not sure
of any answers
from up above.
Of course
with faith and charity
there's always hope
and perhaps
a day of reckoning
so we can cope.
Then they will remove
the cancer project plague
from the door
to be rid
of this disease
forever more.
I could return
to my former post
and feel good too
by looking over
all of the animals
at the zoo.
