Today's Angels were made for us by Helen Trigg and Joan Cook.
The angel on the Christmas tree
Looked down and quietly sighed
At the tinsel and the sparkling lights
The lady had applied.
The gaudy colours everywhere
The Freezer full of food;
The cards from friends upon their strings
Could never lift her mood.
Festive spirit was skin deep
With no-one there to share
She'd tried so hard to cheer things up
But who would see, or care?
And then at last a box appeared
"A gift for you" it said
She hadn't ordered anything
A mistake? She scratched her head.
But as she opened up the box
And read the note, with tears
The feeling in the small flat changed
Away with all her fears!
"You always said you wanted these"
Upon the note she read
"I can't be with you so this scene
Will have to do instead."
And as she pulled the figures out
The Mother, with her Child;
"Merry Christmas, from your son"
The Angel watched, and smiled.
