Frozen On Mountaintops Snowy White Slopes

Frozen On Mountaintops Snowy White Slopes Fast fading shades of beautiful new morn angelic rays melt silver frost away; promising life in each new day when born, flow even if mortal man fails to pray. Angels weep from heavenly perches high, gifting tears refreshing mankind's lost hopes; Life and love applauded with angel sighs, frozen on mountaintops snowy white slopes. At sunset , when we fail to wave goodbye angels say a prayer for our lost souls; standing guard within each new night skies, despite even dark thunder's mighty rolls. Although angels watch and often they weep, we may sometimes feel such tears in our sleep R.J.

Requesting anybody so inclined to offer a prayer for her recovery. We've been told chances for success are not that good..... Praying that she even makes it to have the surgery.. I combed my old poems to find something fitting today as I simply can not write now. Thanks...
