Angel

Have you ever seen an angel,
on this planet we call Earth?
They say that there was a lot,
during the time of Jesus' birth.

But are angels hard to find,
if you look and can't find one?
Or are they playing hide and seek,
in the warmth of the summer sun?

I have seen and angel play,
as ridiculous as it may be.
Her smile was bright and beautiful,
and she was a good friend to me.

Then the Lord had called her home,
on a snowy winters day.
Now she is in Heaven,
with lots of room to play.

We have missed her so much,
throughout all of the years.
And every time December comes,
we always shed some tears.

I'm so sorry you lost your angel, J.T. Now she is enjoying the company of other angels in heaven where you'll see her again one day. Such a beautiful poem! Welcome to Poetry Soup. I look forward to reading more of your work. Best wishes, Carolyn

Hi J.T. Celene asked me to give your site a visit. I'm really glad that I did. This work is beautiful if a little sad. Well written and welcome to the SOUP. Yours, Eamon
