The Feather

The Angel stood upon the balcony
Singing songs of heavenly bliss
As the young couple sat in the garden
Sharing their engagement kiss
Being so happy, as he put on her ring
She noticed something so beautifully white
Upon the grass of emerald green
There lay the most beautiful feather
Their eyes had ever seen

As the old man sat all alone
Upon the rivers edge
There the angel whispered
Of a love so pure and true
As to God his soul he pledged
Watching in total silence
As the most beautiful feather
Gently floated down
Landing in his lap
As he sat there on the ground
On that day there was no wind
Nor a single breeze to be found
Only the wind beneath the wings
Of an angel now heaven bound

The angel sat beside the bed
Holding the ill womans hand
Whispering words of comfort...unheard
As the woman said,
"Dear God, heal me if You can."
Then as she opened her teary eyes
She felt something soft against her cheek
The most beautiful feather
Her eyes would ever behold
From an angel that gave some comfort
A gentle hand to hold

The mother and child went to the park
With shovel and pail in hand
There they would laugh and play
While digging in the sand
As the angel sat and watched
Whispering words of love so kind
As the child climbed upon his mothers knee
Saying, "Mommy, look at what I've got!"
The most beautiful feather
 from Daddy in heaven,
He loves us both alot."

So if someday you are walking
A feather you have found
Pick it up and look at it
Don't leave it on the ground
It could be from an angel
Sent to you from heaven above
Whispering words of kindness and comfort
Singing songs of eternal love
