I KNOW I SAW AN ANGEL

 

 

 I KNOW I SAW AN ANGEL WHEN YOU WENT

TO SLEEP THAT DAY.

I KNOW I SAW AN ANGEL COME

TO TAKE YOU

AWAY.

 

 AS I SAT LOOKING OUT THROUGH THE

SUN FILLED WINDOW THAT DAY.

PRAYING TO JESUS TO ALLOW

YOU TO STAY.

I KNOW I SAW AN ANGEL COME

TO TAKE YOU

AWAY.

 

THE ANGEL SAT BESIDE ME AND I COULD

HARDLY SEE.  THE BRIGHT SUN

THROUGH THE WINDOW

SHINING THERE ON ME. BUT NOW

I KNEW IT WAS AN ANGEL

SITTING THERE WITH

  ME.

  

HE TOLD ME MY BROTHER WAS READY

TO GO HOME THAT DAY.  I TOLD HIM

MY BROTHER WAS

ILL AND IN THE HOSPITAL

HE HAD TO

STAY.

 

 AT THAT MOMENT I NEVER REALIZED WHAT

THAT ANGEL WAS TRYING TO TELL ME.

I THOUGHT HE MEANT RON'S EARTHLY

HOME IS WHERE MY BROTHER

WANTED TO

BE.

 

NO ONE KNEW THIS MAN WHEN I DESCRIBED

HIS FACE.  NOW THAT I REMEMBER HE WAS

BEAUTIFUL AND SOFT

SPOKEN WITH

GRACE.

 

 WHEN I LOOK BACK AND REMEMBER THIS DAY

IN MAY. I KNOW WITH ALL MY HEART IT

WAS A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL WHO

CAME TO TAKE MY

BROTHER RON

AWAY.

 

 

 ----------------------------

 

THIS IS A TRUE STORY, SET TO RHYME.

MY BROTHER HAD LIVER CANCER AND

WAS VERY ILL THE LAST TWO DAYS OF HIS

LIFE.

 

HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AND ALL HE

WANTED TO DO WAS GO BACK HOME.  I WAS

OUT SIDE HIS HOSPITAL ROOM ALONE

LOOKING OUT A SUN FILLED WINDOW,

PRAYING THAT THE LORD WOULD SPARE

HIM AND ALLOW HIM TO GO TO HIS

HOME.  WHEN A BEAUTIFUL MAN

CAME AND ASKED IF HE COULD SIT WITH ME.

HE ASKED IF I HAD SOMEONE THERE IN THE

HOSPITAL, AND I TOLD HIM YES MY BROTHER

RON.

THEN HE LOOKED ME SQUARE IN THE FACE

AND SAID YOUR BROTHER WANTS TO GO HOME.

I BECAME INDIGNANT AND SAID NO HE IS

VERY ILL AND HAS TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL.

EVEN THOUGH I WAS INDIGNANT, HE GAVE

ME A SMILE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET.

NOW I KNOW IT WAS AN ANGEL WHO

CAME THAT DAY TO TAKE MY

BROTHER RON AWAY.
