An angel gasping on the ground,


Once heaven sent,


Now heaven bound.

But he was healthy


As a human man


With all his stealthy

Mara Yay! I stole a bunch of books from you. I couldn't remember the name of that one author you liked-W.S. Penn. By the way, did you know you've read way too many John McCain books? I'm sure you've been told that before though.... ;P
