For those who haven't seen the movie, Clarence was the angel who saved George Bailey.

My shaking hand ~ Inside my pants pocket Warmed it be ~ When I pulled out my locket Zuzu's baby picture ~ My dear treasured keep Always with me ~ By my bed when I sleep Her face so meek ~ So small and so squib As she sleeps silent ~ Alone in her crib I thought that I lost her ~ When she fell ill Pneumonia's burden ~ A baby's...sure fire kill Her temperature high ~ One hundred five She should have passed ~ Somehow, she's alive An haloed angel ~ Came to me that night He answered my prayers ~ Gave Zuzu...new light Ever since then, I've prayed ~ Along with my wife Clarence, thank you ~ It's a wonderful life 12-13-2018 Movie Magic Poetry Contest Sponsored by Gregory R.

Nicely done, Charles. It is so hard to see a child sick ..the worry and suffering when you go through that, it's heart wrenching... Good luck in the contest.
