I’m Sure There Was an Angel

And there must be a plan

Well, I know that there’s a reason

I know there must be a plan

Someone touched me on the shoulder

Said you can be a better man

You need to take your chances

To make your life is not complete.

🪽🪽🪽🪽

I’m sure there was an angel

Watching over me

Telling me that all was well

Protecting and looking after me.

🪽🪽🪽🪽

As I hovered over people

With noises ringing in my ear

Confusion linked with chaos

And a modicum of fear

As the centre of attention

I looked down, was that really me?

🪽🪽🪽🪽

I looked down in despair

At the lady holding my hand

Kneeling there beside me

Telling me to squeeze her hand

It is not your time to go to sleep

Hold on for as long as you can.

🪽🪽🪽🪽

I struggled to the brightest light

And saw myself once more

And that angel took me by the hand

Lead me back down to the ground

As she backed away into the light

I knew there was a plan.

🪽🪽🪽🪽

I’m sure there was an angel

Watching over me

Telling me that all was well

It wasn't my time, you see.

🪽🪽🪽🪽

[A/n: Last year, I wrote a story about a strange encounter I had earlier in my life, "Suddenly, There Was a Bright Light I Didn't Understand." It is related to what some might call an out-of-body experience. I have often thought about it and how it affected my life. I guess my time wasn't up.

Till next time,

Calvin
