A large crowd had gathered on the street far below
Looking up at a ledge
where a man dared to go
They were calling him chicken saying, jump jump
jump!
Roaring and cheering at how low he had sunk.
The burdened mans wife wept and pleaded with him
Knowing full well how
his depression tore in
The fools down below kept on with their
chanting
Wanting him to leap and satisfy their own ranting.
This man had just lost his precious ten year old son
And was faced with
the heartache and torment it done
Bank loan, credit cards, and a mortgage
behind
He had now reached the point of losing his mind.
Then suddenly a voice began whispering in his head
Saying, 'Daddy it's
me...I'm in Heaven...not dead'!
'Please don't leave Mommy and Sis all
alone'
'They love and need you, now please go back home'.
Just as his son appeared to have spoken with him
A bright figure became
visible where darkness had been
The sick ones who stood on the ground down
below
Could not see this miracle or watch it unfold.
The wife who had pleaded with tears that she cried
Saw a figure of an
Angel with her very own eyes
The husband then too felt the presence and
glow
And for the insane ones it signaled the end of the show.
For the man stepped back with a stronger will to live
From the love and
understanding God's Angel did give
Now safe on the ground and in the arms of
his wife
They both thanked the Lord for saving his life.
