That Was an Angel

I dreamed that I was walking down a road in the dark of night

When a car came speeding down the road toward me.

I had no time to step aside; it was only then that I saw the light.

I thought to myself, no way out do I see

And the light must be the essence of God.

For the car would surely strike me down

But what happened next was wonderfully odd.

I embraced my Lord for he lifted me up from the ground

And I expected to keep going toward Heavens shores.

Instead, I was returned to the road below after car had passed by.

“Why did you not take me?” I asked. “I was ready to enter through Heavens doors.

“I am not your Master,” said the one from the light.

I am one of his Angels who watch over his sheep.

I keep them safe from sins danger and might

And too watch over them always, even as they sleep.

If it had been your time to go, I would have lifted you to Heaven above

But the Master still has things for you to say and do.

He is asking that you spread his compassion and love.

God promises every thing you give will be returned unto you.

Love ye one another!
