'And the Angels Came" by Dr. Judy Lee

“And the Angels Came”

For the singing

and the moaning

and the caring,

for the caring of a gentle happy, caring man.

God’s own Gabriel on the horn,

He played so sweet.

And they washed him

sometimes with tears,

And they fed him

with Mother love,

And they lifted,

And they washed him

And they ministered

And laughed, Yes

they laughed and

brought his slight

smile and tapping

to the songs they sang.

The sun would shine.

They danced with him

And Mary who

could dance through silent tears.

They came because

they were sent by

our loving Mother God

to care for this

beloved father

and Gran’Pa.

They called him

Papa, for in

Mother Africa all

are family ,

And in Christ

all are One.

Comfort and

Lillian from Ghana,

Memunata, “Mona”

and Saidu from

Sierra Leone.

These are the angels

sent by God from

Africa to Jack Meehan,

son of Ireland forever.

So now there is an

African- Irish-American

 family that will

last forever in our hearts

with Jack.
