The Wings

I felt wings being put upon my back I knew there was no turning back I had left this material world, and took the steps up to the sky. I knew I was dead! I just couldn't understand How or why. Why did I leave all that I loved Friends, family, and my loved ones To climb the steps up to the sky. WHY? WHY? WHY? This question kept pounding in my brain. What did I do, am I going insane? If I am dead, what am I doing here? I feel myself walking on the ground. Yet! I don't hear no words, no sounds. Am I between heaven and hell? Then what am I doing here.? Then I heard a voice say: Sometimes spirits find it hard to leave For in their hearts they do grieve. You will learn that things are not what they seem to be There is a difference between spiritual and reality. They both walk side by side, and can affect you No matter what you try. You was chosen to leave this world And that's the reason you have those wings For you will be into everything. You will show people love, compassion, hope, and faith Before it becomes much too late. You will show people how to care, and how to share How to give strength when there's no one there. How to move on in life, and go thru the struggles and strife. There are so many things that you must do That's the reason that I picked you. So spread your wings and spread them wide For you have a long ways to fly. There is someone waiting for you, and when you Get there, you'll know what to do. So I flew to where he said: this was something I did dread. The person that he sent me to see, was a relative that I once knew Cancer cells were eating her away, and by her side her family did pray. Somehow she saw me when I entered the room She asked me if it was time- I said it was much too soon. I told her she had to make peace with everyone she knew And that would take a day or two. She smiled and said: I understand! Will you sit and hold my hand. I held her hand till it was time to depart For her new life was about to start. She saw a band of angels in back of me And they all began to sing. HALLELUJAH TO THE NEW BORN KING Now I felt that I earned my wings Bringing people home was an exhilarating thing.
