I've never seen an angel's toe
laced in golden thong.

But I have seen the devil's hand
in every deed that's wrong.

Where is the harp, the flute, and fife
to play me through this silent life?

If only God would breathe in me
a deeper faith to set me free,

I'd drop my burdens gratefully
and walk the shores I cannot see.

Hi Robin,

I too thoroughly enjoyed this - and the question you pose: What if God were watching and listening and did something to change fate, even just in a teensy thing? I agree with Mary - that I think 'laced' has a better substitute out there. Either way, enjoyed the read!
