Mother is sick Old Joe
And Angels beckon
Time
Hovers sweetly
Now
And on her own rainbow
She will rise
Deservedly
Amid the loves of mystery
To so many
A great life finds an end
For a new start
An old flame with a new heart perhaps
Will meet you in heaven
Old Joe
Is there something in your heart
Perchance
That
Old Betty can grasp
Does Cupid’s arrow fly?
Like old
Alone for years
Surely
She did her best
For you
It’s been so long since you have both loved
Anyone
And God speaks mountains
Of you both from where we sit
When he sends the angels to earth
On a breath
And on a prayer
The signs are there
Heaven waits
Indeed
Old Betty has not waited in Vain
For her knight in shining armour
