Poem for Today : 'I Think I Saw an Angel'

I Think I saw an Angel

.

One day, when I was walking,

When all the sky was blue,

And all the world was bustling,

So many things to do,

I saw a choir of angels

Passing overhead;

Or was it just a fancy

Of my beating heart instead?

I’m sure I heard a whirring,

The sound of angel wings;

I’m sure I heard the chorus

An angelic choir brings.

I’m sure I saw a shadow,

Passing overhead;

Or was it just a fancy

Of my beating heart instead?

I’ll never know for certain

What happened on that day;

And I’ll never know for sure

If an angel came my way.

If it was an angel’s wings

Passing overhead;

Or only just a fancy

Of my beating heart instead.
