An Angel's Wish

A baby, so tiny and helpless, the life the future. Intricate toes and fingers, eyes closed and blind to the world's horrors, the cries of helplessness bundled in a blanket. Warmth I can guarantee, Love I can provide, Dreams I can give freely, Yet the world is to be discovered by You. You who make our whole world revolve, You who will endure, You who will suffer. A life without air is not a life at all, when the systems of life begin to fail, There is only one gesture I have to give. A kiss to the brow. Tears will fall, as will sniffles and sobs, but I will be there to comfort. I will be there to hold your hand, I will dream and live in the world of your reality, while continuing with my own world. A world of success and failures. Good-bye my dearest, I have prayed, and it is time for you to go. A kiss, A tear, Just once more. Sleep dear one, sleep.
