A Poem for our lost angels:
To our lost angels: I’ll think on you
Eternity is filled with broken dreams, promises unfulfilled
and angels dancing among the stars
while mothers arms are left empty
Names are spoken in silent tears and breathless prayers
from hearts left aching
Comfort comes in moments of heavenly grace
that remind us one day we will be
reunited in glory
In the moments in between
I’ll think on you
