Anxiety gripped my spirit
Traveling alone; a phobia of mine
Fearing the worst, I prayed
“Please God keep me safe”

Waiting to board my plane
I wondered if God had heard my prayer
I was happy to be going home
I phoned to tell them my plans

My family worried about my flight
Reassuring their fears I declared
“It’s so beautiful up there”
“Heaven must really be great”

I found my seat
Alone I sat
As we rose above the clouds
I fought to relax

A voice broke the silence
As he sat down beside me
“It’s so beautiful up here”
“Heaven must really be great”

He was quiet the rest of the trip
I slept peacefully until we landed
My friend had vanished
I didn’t even know his name

My daughter ran, leaped into my arms
I placed her gently upon my shoulders
“I told God to send you an Angel”
She said with glee

“It’s so beautiful up here”
“Heaven must really be great”
