So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee--
"These things shall never die."
~~ Charles Dickens
In a lonely green field
Your beauty shines bright
Lighting each corner
In the dazzling sunlight
You're a small prairie angel
An unexpected delight!
Dancing on breezes
From morning 'til night.
Observe this perfection
Only God could create
I hope that extinction
Will not be your fate
I won't soon forget
This vision I've seen
Of a yellow winged angel
With the soft feathered wings
