What Was That?

Today as I was walking
through the wheat field
I heard a sweet sound
that to me appealed

When I turned around
looking just to see
where it came from
guess what startled me

Right behind me stood
 an angel so grand
strumming the golden harp 
held in her hand

What beautiful sweet music
that it was she play
made me want to hum
as I dance and sway

‘Twas a glorious time
that we had there
in her angelic sounds
I was allowed to share

When the time came
to say our good-byes
I didn’t want to leave
which made me realize

If this is something like
what heaven must be
I want to go there
for my eternity!
