Angel Now Gone

Note: Inspired by and dedicated to Ben Breedlove and all of his family and friends. They are in my prayers and may they find peace in these tough times------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life, so full of mysteries
But sometimes just unfair
Your life history
Laden with fervor and care

Meager glimpses of paradise 
Wondering when all will lead to heaven
Wanting, waiting… patiently staying
With the family, friends, that he loves

White walls full of peace
Whispered greetings from a divine entity
Love for all will always increase
Listening to soft serenity

You touched the lives of many
Inspired by your story
You’re proof of angels on earth
God’s most precious gift

And now every night
When we look among the stars
We’ll see the one shining bright
And know just where you are

another note: I do not personally know Ben Breedlove. I learned about his story like countless others through his Youtube videos and following news stories. Ben Breedlove's message and story was one of the most touching and heartwrenching one's I have learned about. ---may he rest in final peace.
