Angel Baby

Angel baby

With such sticky wings and face,

You’ve made such a heavenly mess

All over this heavenly place.

There’s a bit of torn cloud

Tangled in your golden hair,

Though I must admit

It does look cute there.

The colors of the rainbow

Are in such disarray,

Have you been playing

With God’s paint today?

White snowflakes falling

Against a sky bright blue,

What mischief now

Are you up to?

Angel baby

Please still your trembling chin,

I just can not bear

To see your tears fall again.

Angel baby

You’ve made the golden streets blue!

I guess that’s just what

Angel babies do.

Angel baby

You’re just too sweet,

Who says that heaven

Should be clean and neat.
