Angel Wings and Icicle Breaks

Do you know how an Angel gets his wings?
I’m sure you’ve heard of this many times before,
An Angel gets his wings when a bell rings,
It doesn’t count though, when it’s for your front door?

No, it’s got to be done the old fashioned way,
By the hand of a child who rings it soft,
A sight seldom seen in our given day,
So let the children ring the bells, and let them oft.

Here’s something else to know for Heaven’s sakes,
Not many know for it’s seldom spoken,
Do you know what happens when an icicle breaks?
When the ice shatters, a great heart is broken.

So ring the bells and let the icicles hang,
For the sake of the Angels and of a great heart,
Oft times though Angels only here the bells ring,
After the ice shatters and breaks all apart.
