ANGELS IN HEAVEN
By Diane E. Alter

They took so many precious lives

They took so many husbands and wives

They took my cousin and they took a good friend’s brother

They took my neighbor and they took my student’s mother

They took my co-workers and they took friends so true

They took so many that I once knew

All those they took, they took way too soon, and the only thing I
can think of to lessen the gloom

Is that God need so many angels to fill up Heaven’s room.
