Angel On Earth

The innocent angel pestered God
That it was earth she wanted to visit
She wanted to experience how humans were
Goodness, light & love, she wanted to emit

God one day, was in a really good mood
And decided to send his favorite angel to earth
He thought she'd be taken care of, wonderfully well
Gave humans much more than they were worth

She was called by everyone, a princess
And so she started to believe too
But then came a harsh blow, straight onto her face
Something that was, not too real to be true

She heard everyone tell her with a lot of concern
That she was too good a soul for them
That she deserved a better partner on earth
For the solitaire that she herself was, she needed a gem

She also heard it time and again
That there wasn't any line of work to match up her skill
That she was born for bigger things in life
And greater plans to fulfill

The poor angel was now perplexed
Was it such a big sin to be near perfect?
Why was she too good, too proficient
That humans found it hard to connect?

Or was she actually not good at all?
But the kind humans were just being polite
They were trying to palliate her failure
Trying to make everything seem all right

Predicamental, she prayed, to her dear Lord
To call her back to where she belonged
Humans she thought, were fit for other human souls only
Angels on earth, would likely be wronged ...


May the guiding light be with all of us,
