The storm was raging higher The driving snow and sleet I spied a child Angel walking down the street Her wings were down and folded Her face was wet with tears Her shoulders seemed to carry the world and all it’s fears Tragically I watched her As she stumbled on her way No halo shone above her on her face so dank and grey She fell upon her knees At the house of wealth and fame She rapped upon the door but they thought It was a game She sat there on the veldt side Her head bowed in great despair Such a pitiful sight sitting crying there Her tears were big and flooding Her sobbing tortured cry That sound I’ll carry with me until the day I die Her little form was heaving With tears shed from the heart It was so sad and rending I felt my own tears start Together we were crying For the world so big gone wrong But there was no one there to hear our freedom song The fallen Angel tears Began now to abate I put my arm around her to quell her sodden state She slipped her hand in mine ‘There’s no need to be alone’ Her tears no longer falling I took my Angel home Jon Mewett |
