WAITING FOR WINGS

Do all good girls go to heaven?
Can bad girls go there too?
I have been waiting for my wings
to fly.
I have not seen them, do you?
I kneel with arms stretched out
please send me wings I pray.
I have been a good girl today.
So I can fly away.

Do all good boys go to heaven?
Can bad boys go there too?
Do they wear wings so they can
fly.
I imagine yes they do.

Is it right to say I am not ready
I have not done my time on earth.
Is it right to say I am calling you,
but my prayers are not heard.
Maybe there was something I
forgot that I should do.

I remembered to say my prayers
today asking for your blessings
on a few.
God Bless, Mom and Dad, and the
sad, and poor, and prayed for
world wide peace.
The little children everywhere, and
the old and sick in despair.
I laid my hand on my address book
and said please bless them too.

I met a begger asking for some food.
I took him in and fed him, when I turned
he wasn't there.
I saw a child crying in the street.
I asked what's wrong he said, "I am
lost and far from home."
I held him in my arms, and said,"soon
you will be home."
I left him on his doorstep, I turned and
he was gone.

A homeless lady was sitting on the
bench.
She had no coat to cover her from
the freezing cold.
I thought a moment looking into her
lovely eyes, and put my coat around
her, to see her beautiful smile.
I walked away then looked back
and she had disappeared.

On my way home, I glanced down
at a passerby.
He had no shoes on his feet.
I thought my oh my.
I tapped him on the shoulder, said
"please come follow me."
We walked into a shoe store, I said
"sir please give this kind man shoes
and socks he needs.
As I walked to go out, I turned to look
back when, I saw the shoeless man
too had disappeared.

I am an Angel waiting for her wings,
and when my time on earth is done
and all I need to do has ended.
So I can fly home.
When the scale of good and bad is
weighed.
I will surely remember then, the one
thing I forgot.
Your wings aren't given for good
or bad, but for the deeds you've
done.
By all the love you shared that day
an Angel was sent your way.
