Heart Menders

I had a dream
the other night.
To tell the truth,
it was outta-sight!

I saw many angels
bent over their tasks.
I went somewhat closer;
I had questions to ask.

What are you doing?
What have you there?
The lighting was bright;
There was oh such a glare.

Is that a heart
there in your hand?
And what is that,
looking like golden sand?

The angels all smiled
and their halo's glowed.
Each held a heart
as if precious gold.

Upon closer inspection,
I saw each heart had pain.
Some hearts were cracked,
no two the same.

I watched an angel
cup a bit of sand,
pour it into the cracks,
smoothing it with her hand.

You could see the healing
beginning right away.
Angels started praising God-
A harp began to play.

Soon hearts were floating
way above my head.
"On to be blessed by God"-
is what the angels said.
