I write children's poetry....here is one of my favorites

Angel Child

The angel waited, of all things

In line to get her brand new wings.

She wore a robe, but did not care

For harps of gold or angel's hair.

She could not sing, and would not try

To harmonize with those on high.

And even mentioned once or twice

How sad she was in Paradise.

"Here you are", St Peter said,

And placed a halo on her head,

But it was bent and crooked, too

Long before the day was through.

So when the elder angels met,

They knew she wasn't ready yet,

And soon agreed upon a plan

That made the angel smile again.

They sent her here, to her great joy,

As sister to a little boy.

She lives on Earth, a child of seven,

Who thinks that she has gone to heaven.

Thanks Carlene! I love it! I really enjoy reading people's stuff. Who else has some poetry or creative writing to share?
