I'M An Angel Poem by Ray Hansell

I heard the church bells ring
I heard the organ play
I saw the stain glass windows
As I flew overhead
I heard the preacher ask
Does anyone know
Why these two people
Shouldn't be married today
I was an angel in the sky
It should have been me down there
As into her eyes I'd stare
Then slowly slide the ring
On the finger of her left hand
Her and I together
As husband and wife we'd stand
But we will never be
Because you see
I am now an angel above
Flying around with wings of love
No longer thought of
But she is happy
That's what really matters
Maybe now my ashes
She will finally scatter
Spread them out in the open sea
Now and then have thoughts of me
I'll be her guardian angel
As she walks through life
I'll watch over the woman
Who I wanted for my wife
I'm in heaven through no fault of my own
I was waiting for a train
It started to suddenly rain
As the train pulled into the station
I was nudged forward a bit
The next step I took was a slip
I grabbed onto someone for help
He lost his grip
I went under the train
Now my ashes
Are all that remain
