Earlier in the week the word came
A friend's dad had gone - a shame
For he was the third of hers last year to go
First her granddad, then her dear uncle Joe
And now she has to explain to her son ...
Where all their loved ones have now gone
So she told him about the angels in heaven
The age-old story about an eternal haven
Where all folks go who were dearly loved here
Where they're no longer sick, and have no fears
As now they fly around using their silver wings
And do good deeds for others, and other things
So her son is now one of the really lucky ones
For he now has three of them watching over, some
And my friend can now be assured of inner peace
For she is now safe and secure, and so .. is Keith
