REASSURANCE
DEAR LORD:
Could You spare some Guardian Angels
To give me peace of mind
As my children wander from me
And stretch the ties that bind?
You have heavenly legions, Father.
Could you send me just a few
To guide my eager youngsters
As I give them, Lord, to you?
Oh thank You, thank You, Father,
And, oh, my glad heart sings.
I'm certain that just now I heard
The swish of passing wings!
