Visit by an Angel

by Marvin D. Schrebe - Gemini

You were here for a brief time;
An angel from Heaven above;
During the time that you were here;
We knew what it meant to love.

God doesn’t let His angels stay long;
And soon He took you home;
Before you left we all knew love;
Never once did our hearts roam.

You taught us the meaning of love;
You brought contentment and joy;
There was no deceit or pretense with you;
To you a heart was no toy.

You loved us all and we loved you;
Nobody could ask for better than you;
Up to the day that God took you home;
We knew your love was true.

An angel paid us a visit in ‘73;
No trouble did you rile;
Instead during the time that you were here;
You taught our hearts to smile.
