An Angel Fell From the Sky

An angel fell from the sky
the day she disappeared.

Searching the Pacific
far and wide that day.

An angel had been
lost somewhere at sea.

She had flown the
world around and around.

Her plane was her home
away from home.

Comfort of the sky,
was all she asked for,

no one knows what
happened to her that,

fatal day in 1937,
only God Himself,

knows the answer
of her fate, no one is sure,

she was the first woman
to solo the Altantic,

so one day she decided
to fly around the world,

she left New Guinea
and headed for Howland Island,

but mysteriously vanished
from the face of the earth,

shocking the world
of the news,

she has never been,
forgotten.

James this is a wonderful tribute to a great lady - I reckon she died doing what she loved and blazing a trail for others to follow - I guess if you got to die that that way would be a blessing - Great Poem James

What a wonderful tribute to this woman, James. She had daring and more courage than many. A great title, it gives more depth to this tragedy. "she has never been, forgotten". You are a clever and kind writer..best to you! Mikki

A wonderful poem, about a mystery that has never ceased to make us wonder. A woman before her time....I wonder if the mystery will ever be solved. It's lovely to think that she is an angel...still flying. A thoughtful piece, James. Fondly, Carrie

Hi James Thanks for your latest comment on Fork In The Road. Glad you liked it. Sure I know who Ameilia Earhart is, she was the first woman aviater to cross the alantic ocean. That's why I said she must have been quite a woman. Take care sweet. Love Light Truth Patricia
