Repentance

An angel was punished one day, you see,
and came to the earth sad as could be.

He couldn't return to his place in the sky,
and so would let out a saddened sigh.

He travelled the earth to look and to see,
He wandered around for a place to be.

He could only return to his place in the sky,
If he found something worth more than his sigh.

The earth he would travel until he could see,
something of worth so in the sky he could be.

gold is of no use to those who dwell in the sky,
"but what's of more value than that?" he would sigh.

then one day he thought he could see,
something of value - but what could it be?

whilst flying about just under the sky,
he heard a girl heave a heavy sigh.

this was of value any can see,
a sigh of repentance: worth more than much could ever be.

And so he returned to his place in the sky,
holding aloft a little girl's sigh.

and now you know and now you can see,
how valuable repentance can actually be.
