Tarnished angel

A little bedraggled

A little worse for wear

Tarnished little angel

To me; still fair...

As a little child

I held you in my tiny hands

Loved to place you atop

Our Christmas tree; so fair

Though you have lost your wings

I find you beautiful my dear

Sometimes I feel just like this angel

Sometimes I feel my wings are bare

But still i must go on flying

Must continue through my despair

Life goes on around us

Time waits upon no woman; no man

We must yield ourselves completely

To our dear lord’s ultimate plan
