Somewhere Above the Clouds

For all those who have been touched by the recent national tragedy,
may God be with us all...

Somewhere high above us, over the clouds,
sits an angel with her head bowed...
She sees the turmoil that we are all in,
she does not know how to help us, where to begin...

She is waiting for direction from heaven above,
for her assignment which will be sent with much love...
She will undoubtedly come to the comfort and aide,
of those who are lost, and those who feel betrayed...

Her job will be hard as peoples hearts are not united...
as the world is today so harshly divided,
Even the angels can do nothing sometimes but sigh,
as they try to dry the tears from their own eyes...

Helping us is becoming more difficult for them to do,
they can’t seem to reach the whole world through,
Please pray everyday for peace to be restored...
what a gift to God that would be, what a reward...
for God to see man walking hand in hand,
no longer fighting from their different lands...

Our God wants to see us peaceful and find us to be well,
If we'd listen to Him, He has so much to tell...
He made us to be united and be forever strong...
not to fight and do what is wrong...
we aren’t here to hurt our fellow man and their countries too...
He expects us to do what we know to be right and true...

So for the angel sitting atop of a cloud...
she is hoping that we all start praying out loud...

Dear God please hear us as we try to heal and pray,
as we look towards the heavens for answers today....
