The Angels Sing
By Paul Wilson

The angels came quietly through the open window
on a gentle breeze and sang him softly to sleep
Standing at Heavens Gate Jesus embraces him
as he kneels and prays for those still here that now weep

Looking at Jesus John Paul ask why do they cry?
they should be happy...today I have touched the light
Their tears should be shed for the souls that are still lost
not for me, Gods Angels sang me home softly tonight

Come Jesus said...sit with me awhile on the stone
that entombed me on the day I was crucified
You have done well...rejoice and receive the gift of
eternal life promised to you the day I died

You have walked the path laid out before you by God
never straying from your appointed destiny
Now you sit with me at the feet of thy father
as the faithful watch your funeral on T.V.

Follow me John Paul through the gates of Heaven
together we will embrace thy father as one
Those that came before you await your arrival
as those still here on earth remember all you've done

A simple wooden box holds your earthly body
as your spirit lives forever through God and me
Bells of Saint Peters ring as you are laid to rest
and I say too you...truly your spirit is free




~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~
Paul

Thank you for this Paul..
I am only one of millions who were up early
today to watch and listen as the loved and tears flowed
through the Vatican..and yes, throughout the world.
Well said Sir...very well said.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

A loving and wonderful tribute to a great man. He will be missed and no one can fill his shoes.

hugs, Marti
