If I were an angel,
I would rise above all pain.
I would be a part of the atmosphere
in sun, snow and rain.
If I were an angel,
I would care but not too much.
I would have total freedom.
I would share complete love.
If I were an angel,
I would see the whole picture
instead of puzzle pieces.
I would wear a cloak of goodness
and learn to iron out the creases.
If I were an angel,
I would shine the light on secrets
and honesty would set us free
to be kind and decent.
If I were an angel,
I would be a friend to the weak
and amplify their voices so that
they could be heard in heaven,
every word changing our
collective soul and our perspective.
If I were an angel,
I would have nothing to fear,
hope would fill my heart and
music would fill my ears.
If I were an angel,
I would be more than human
but alas, I am not an angel
simply one more praying woman.
