A Fallen Angel by Laura Rumsey

A Fallen Angel

by Laura Rumsey

You saw our world from high above

Too high to experience our human love

You felt out world from outside the air,

And longed for pleasures you could not share

You heard music in the sunrise,

You couldn't see why a human cries

Your touch could put a soul at peace,

Life's beauty for you would never cease

To feel the wind or taste a pear,

To smell a flower or touch her hair,

What you saw was of our earth

What you left held so much worth!

To heal a heart or create a smile,

To fly away from pain once and awhile

You were face to face with ultimate love,

You let go of God and the joy above

A fallen angel, so much is lost

At the time did it seem worth the cost?

The God who gave you free will to choose

Now weeps with you over all you must lose

Did you think you'd miss the undoubted trust?

Do you think you'll cry when you return to dust?

How could you leave what we all strive for?

How could you think that here you'd find more?

God still loves you and miss you so bad,

But you can no longer feel that closeness you had

Doesn't our selfishness make you mad?

Didn't you love him enough to be sad?

Now you can breath our smoggy air,

Now you can be seen anywhere

Now you hear silence in the sunrise,

and now you wipe tears from your eyes

The beauty and friendship that we know

Are the closest we can get to heaven's glow

You may think it was worth the cost

But you're a fallen angel, and too much is lost!
