A long...

....time ago, Emanuel Swedenborg wrote about angels,
that each angel is a man and a woman that had wedding bells,
each 'happily married' couple upon their death,
became one angel on their last breath.

I'm not sure that what he wrote is right, or pure,
but the New Church (Swedenborgian) is sure;
other religions don't follow suit, but differ a lot,
so this angel thing, itself, has quite a plot.

There are lots of descriptions each place I look,
too much information for one little book,
and students, all much more learned than I,
still can't see any angels in the sky.

So, all we know, or think we do,
is without proof, slightly askew;
there is where faith comes in,
we believe angels are there so it's no sin.

So many of them, that, in fact, there's such a fuss,
too many to count, they may outnumber us;
each church has some, more than some others,
and of course there's angel for moms and brothers.

So, we'll continue on, for a little bit,
maybe until we have our fill of it;
it's a worthy subject, with lots of surprises,
some are small and some win prizes.

Enjoy!
