Angel Dear

Littlest angel ever so near,

my heart is weeping, can you hear.

I held you in my arms

and felt your breath upon my cheek,

I gently kissed your face you were just so weak.

Your little hand held mine,

your face was so divine,

I looked into your eyes,

you looked back into mine.

As your life ebbed away and the night

turned to day I held you close to me,

you reached your tiny hand up and

touched me with a sigh, you smiled

a little smile for me as if to say goodbye.

Littlest angel ever so near

my heart is weeping, can you hear

Thank you Poet Destroyer, Skat, and Anne Lise. This poem is a tribute to my lost angel. I feel when you write from the heart and soul it becomes magic. My Angel still lives and it has been over 50 years. Never forgotten. Thank you Skat, I accept your friendship humbly, but with joy.
