Blue Angels

I see their golden wings

And some silver ones too,

These angels of heaven

Men who once proudly wore the blue.

Where once sat a shiny hat

Now rests a halo of light,

The chest that once was dressed in blue

Now is clothed in flowing white.

Though you may not see the badge

That was worn on their earthly chests,

It still shines brightly

Within their heavenly breasts.

They now walk

A heavenly beat,

Through pearly gates,

Along golden streets.

Above a star filled sky,

With a heavenly view,

Rise the songs these angels sing,

Angels forever in blue.
