NARRATION

Now every moment the angel spent listening

his time on earth diminished

but the angel found himself waiting there

until each story was finished

he had only several hours left

for the quest he had been assigned

but angels like small children

have trouble keeping track of time

but in the end it seemed this delay

had turned out for the best

for now there were grownups all around

listening with the rest

for as they listened to his stories

each one till the very end

those adults remembered their own childhoods

and a time when faith was not pretend

REMEMBER
