Will my heavenly wings be splendid
Will they sparkle like the dew?
Will they be rhinestones and pendants
In my halo all shiny and new?
Will my halo need adjusting
Or will it fit like a glove?
I better get my order in early
To the great shop up above.
Will they likely be tarnished
Smudged, dingy, or singed?
Soiled or possibly rumpled
Without and maybe within?
Might they be too heavy
Or even a little too tight?
I am hoping and I’m praying
They’ll fit and be just right.
