With Apologies

It is so difficult at times
to understand the ways of the Lord,
but we celebrate each life He created
with apologies accepted
over the times Guardian Angels
get more than a little overworked
so they don’t have opportunity
for providing adequate explanations
about every occasion He works in mysterious ways.

It is sort of cherubim complication
they really do the best they can,
promising it will all be faithfully recorded,
including appropriate footnotes
in that scroll you get to read
when reaching the afterlife.

After all, somebody has to make the clouds,
rain doesn’t get added by accident,
then there is all that lightning to create,
thunder really takes a lot of work too.

Praying you will accept this explanation
knowing what a big welcome party
they are having in Heaven.

Just hope they don’t get sidetracked again
by those sunset problems,
smog can cause such challenges,
there is only so much a poor angel can do.

May the Lord truly bring you smiles of joy
over knowing your loved one is in His home,
and how they will to not let the festivities
last past a decent curfew hour,
though with eternity that is a tad later than here.
