Crooked Halos, Broken Wings She sits there wondering what to do This little child, so torn, The wing she's holding is broken, And though it looks quite old and worn, She needs to somehow mend it, To make it work as if brand new, She knows an angel is flying, With only one wing - not two. She pictures the golden halo Atilt on the little one's head, With one wing, she's out of balance, "Please help me to fix it" she pled. With her cries she heard a rustle, And looked around in fear - What she saw was a cute little cherub, With a face that was ever so dear. Of course this angel was missing a wing, And was finding it hard to fly, But it was the crooked little halo, That caught the child's eye. Quickly she put her fingers to work, As she quietly started to sing, Her stitches weaving masterfully, New life to this sweet angel's wing. When finished she carefully placed it, On a cushion of daisies and mums, So the cherub could slip it on easily, Having only to use her thumbs. And the child just sat in total awe, As the angel started to soar, A trail of gossamer following her, Her halo straight - once more. [This message has been edited by BSC (edited 03-16-2000).] |

Oh BONNIE, The is a masterful weaving of loveliness. A storyline so enchanting, a tale filled with innocence and wonder in a time and place where anything can be accomplished if enough care is given to it. Thank you for this beautiful work. I think it's just awesome, Your friend, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

This chimes with child like beauty and sweetness. It's so tenderly done. I love this very much. Would make a great children's short story, even illustrated with the pictures you painted with your words. Sincerely, Rwood |

Dearest Bonnie; WOW! I love the gentle sweetness and childlike innocence and beauty of this poem of yours! Bonnie, I can picture a whole book for children. We could all contribute, maybe a monthly magazine for kids. They are the ones that will be able to change the world if they know the Lord, What a world it would be! Love ya, Ellie 02 |
