Angel Girl

The hands of a child Spread out wide To catch heavens rays Eyes tightly closed A silent prayer She is not ready to go She is afraid to fly Her wings are so new She feels grounded to this world The love that is here Crying whispers that flow to her ear Yet of God she has no fear Still she does not wish to leave She prays with faith and truly believes God looks down and smiles He knows if he leaves her there will be trials In the end love does conquer all He will not let this angel fall A tiny butterfly Placed in her right hand Spirit to body with his command Hourglass refilled with pure white sand His angel girl Her new life planned With these hands contest By Richard Lamoureux Dec 26,2013 Visual #7 Great contest Nette!

Exciting poem! Each line builds the plot and character. Realistic, yet surreal at the same time. Quite a trick if you ask me.

Hello Richard, a special poem. It is only natural to write such a delightful poem for this contest... I really liked this, and what I like even more is that it felt as if it just poured right out from your pen and heart... Deep, and beautiful...
