WHAT THE ANGEL SAID TO ME
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
Wrapped up well
Running towards the hill
With cherry red noses
Cheeks the colour of roses
Butterflies in my stomach
Such a thrill
In summer this path would make a racket
But the snow silenced our footsteps
The white sky above us
Was if a blanket blocking out the jets
No sounds, no fuss
A multi coloured sleigh
So many children play
I see a shape before me
As I climb up to the top
Did I really see
An angel from above?
The feeling was overwhelming, full of love
I shout stop
I saw spread out wings
And then the angels choir started to sing
The church bells did ring
I know they did
I even heard the organ play
Wondering has the church mouse hid?
Previous voices fell in the hills
Muffled, frozen shivering shills
As fluttering wings, flew over my head
I heard these words to me they said
No gifts you need
No feasts to feed
Just hold those in your heart, who are in need
Give something that costs nothing
That’s your time
Then a star in the inky sky did shine
As if to lift me to another world
My head was in a swirl
White before me, below and up high
Pure like a pearl
It was then I realised
As I saw my family cry
They were given the words
I had died
Fluttering birds
Circled my head
It can’t be true
I’m not dead?
I’m too young
I was having fun
But then I glided towards the sun!
