How Big Are Angel Wings - Ashton Shepherd

She sat in her hospital bed

Drawing pictures of the sky

And through all of the pain she felt

She had never asked why

But when the doctor walked in

And said, it’s time for your meds

With tears in her eyes

She looked at the doctor and said

How big are angel wings?

Are they small enough for me?

Do they make them little

In the size I might need?

They say where I’m going

I won’t feel no more pain

So I really need to know

How big are angel wings?

I can’t ask Mama

I know it’d make her sad

I don’t like to see her cry

And it does the same thing to Dad

And at night when I sleep

I see heaven in my dreams

So please won’t you answer

This question for me

How big are angel wings?

Are they small enough for me?

Do they make them little

In the size I might need?

They say where I’m going

I won’t feel no more pain

So I really need to know

How big are angel wings?

And they say where I’m going

I won’t feel no more pain

So I really need to know now

How big are angel wings?
