"The Angel Gabriel Who Wanted To Go Home"
Underneath some rubbish a homeless old man
built a small fire with a lighter he had bought
with money some passers by had given him
and this man was not what he appeared to be
he sat in the street alleyways and he said
not a word but he held up a sign asking them
for money or what they could spare.  He Was
The Archangel Gabriel, in disguise, come to Earth
To See If There were still any good souls left.
He found many people were kind and yet
many other were cold and still others were indifferent.
Being disguised as an old man, there was hardly
no companion for him, save for the rats and
stray animals in the alleyways.// This was all
very good.  He wasn't really hungry.  He was
an angel.  When he was weary of his journey
on Earth, He prayed the Father Lord God Almighty
 To Take Him Home.  The angel wanted
To Go Home To Heaven.  God Told Him That
He Could Ascend to heaven, and He left The
Form of the Old Man.  On a cold starry night
a raving homeless begger starved to death on
the side of a road in the bitter cold.  He was
the Archangel Gabriel.  He died and Ascended
To Heaven In The Cold Crisp and Starry Night.
They Found The Body in the morning, and it didn't
make the news.  Someone was annoyed at such a
"rubbish left to pick up".  But Gabriel
Had Gone To Heaven.  He Was
The Highest of the archangels and he sang "Hallelujah!"
"Hallelujah!" in heaven with all the other angels and they
were so glad to see him.,  There was food and shelter
and warmth and he was a beautiul you man with mighty
magnificent wings and a shining halo of light.  He rose
To Heaven On A Crisp Starry Night.
He Had So Dearly Wanted To Go Home.  He Was
The Angel Gabriel Who Wanted To Go Home.
And he did.
Amen.
