Forever They Last
         Memories from the pastForever do they last?Can I forget them for a while?And enjoy a brief smileThey've become part of me, I know.From whom some relief can I borrow?I tried hard but in vainThere're only tears, only pain.Will there ever come a dayWhen there'll be light all the way?I'm waiting for that distant starI just hope it's not too fa... more...

Things aren't always what they seem
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger ange... more...
