When Angels Cried

I believe in angels I saw one just today She sat beside a mother As they took her child away She wrapped her wings around her She listened while mom prayed Through coffee cups and flowing tears And yet the angel stayed Nurses, doctors came and went Daylight turned to eve Mom sat alone or paced the halls And yet the angel would not leave Scrubs of green approached the doors With paper shoes; mask hanging free The angel stayed because she knew The news was bad, you see A little boy was draped in light He joined the angel by her side They held mom's hand as she was told Her baby boy had died.
