Playing Tag With Angels

I saw a child at play today

He was having so much fun

I watched him growing wilder

Playing tag and run

*

His laughter carried skyward

It touched an angel’s wing

Twas then the angel turned around

And he began to sing

*

A song of jubilation

A song unheard before

The whole world stopped to listen

Enraptured to its core

*

The angel sang with all his might

Which lifted up each heart

Then just as quick as he’d appeared

He quickly did depart

*

The people bathed in God’s sweet love

In peace went on their way

All but the little boy of course

Today was his big day

*

He got to see an angel!

He even heard him sing!

But best of all for him today

He tagged an angel’s wing.
