Hopeful

Will my heavenly wings be splendid

Will they sparkle like the dew?

Will they be rhinestones and pendants

In my halo all shiny and new?

 

Will my halo need adjusting

Or will it fit like a glove?

I better get my order in early

To the great shop up above.

 

Will they likely be tarnished

Smudged, dingy, or singed?

Soiled or possibly rumpled

Without and maybe within?

 

Might they be too heavy

Or even a little too tight?

I am hoping and I'm praying

They'll fit and be just right.
