Wings of Light
                                           (Terri Onorato)

                                       A gracious host of angels
                                      prepare throughout the night
                                      a place within the Kingdom
                                     for the newest wings of light.

                                      Rising from the painful cries
                                      these spirits leave the earth,
                                     then one by one, side by side
                                      their wings of light emerge.

                                      A brilliant love engulfs them
                                      and they quickly understand
                                      the gift of life eternal waits
                                       within the Promise Land.

                                      Like radiant stars on canvas
                                        their spirits fill the night
                                    and broken hearts are cradled in
                                       the loving wings of light.
