Go's Newest Angel!

God's Newest Angel!
By Luther D. Oliver

I have been where the antelope play,
And been where the eagles fly;
Felt the warmth of a campfire,
And heard the lonely wolves cry;

I have seen a beautiful rainbow,
And heard the church bell ring;
And in the darkness of night,
Heard the sweet songbird sing;

I have felt wind upon my face,
And a gentle rain coming down;
Walked upon fresh fallen snow,
When it blanked the ground;

I have seen a green forest,
And read a lovely prose;
I have paused for a moment,
To smell the scented rose;

I have seen a rambling brook,
And heard the children at play;
Walked along the beach shore,
On a bright sun shining day;

I have seen a mountain high,
And strolled the lush valley below;
I have smelled a cultivated field,
And watched the flowers grow;

I Have seen the deep blue sky,
And swam in a morning sea;
All of these things I have done,
Now God is waiting for me;

This is from a poem I wrote for our grand daughter Stella. Her mother Susan is now
with her in Heaven!
