Smirking and giggling and laughing out loud, They'd whisper a thought into each others ear, And heaven just smiled as they filled it with cheer. Little ones dressed in soft pink and blue, Downy soft wings with which they made do, Halos made up of rosebuds and greens, Even a few wearing flannel and jeans. I saw little cherubs swinging on stars, While others sat strumming on tiny guitars, Some chose to go on a fast comet ride, While using its tail as a heavenly slide. As wishes and prayers came up from below, They'd catch them and somehow let us all know, That as twinkling stars shine in the night, Sweet little angels are showing their might. Swinging and sliding and playing so hard, Yet keeping us safe in God's big backyard. [This message has been edited by BSC (edited 10-19-2000).] |

This was sweet, but I'm not at all surprised to find that in your work, Bonnie. I like the idea of angels catching our prayers.  Elizabeth Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... [email protected] |

Bonnie - Like no artist has ever captured with an imaginative brush - YOU - had done with your words - created a picture before my mind's eye - I find totally captivating, heart warming. Thank you so much ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Bonnie~ Positively delightful thoughts - 'As wishes and prayers came up from below, They'd catch them and somehow let us all know, That as twinkling stars shine in the night, Sweet little angels are showing their might.' Just took a peek at the stars - and tossed up a prayer or two ! Thank you, sweet lady. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Nice one Bonnie, I think you take more 'than a stab at poetry'! I like the idea of normality and playfulness in your descriptions of the cherubs in heaven; it is wonderfully fun, and they are still doing the business of keeping us safe. Best Wishes Jon |
