Angel Sent

Two years ago, when I was down,
I’d lost my father to cancer found.
My life was empty and full of pain,
I never thought I would feel again.

One night I awoke to a startling sight.
Thought I was dreaming or left on the light.
A kaleidoscope of colors seen glorious in the dark,
I couldn’t tear my eyes away and felt my beating heart.

The room became brighter, my body began to shake,
And then a clearer image unfolded before my wake.
Its wings were spanned far out, from wall to wall to wall,
A celestial image revealed itself, in a display of heavenly awe.

Then in a perfect higher pitch, I heard a heavenly sound.
I couldn’t tell just what it said but I knew it was profound,
And as it happened, in the moment, I felt my body ground,
For a radiant heat of golden light released my pain unbound.

To this day I stay amazed by what I saw and felt.
The fact that I was free from pain right then and there I knelt.
I Thanked God in heaven for this miracle that I obtained,
For the Angel that he sent me, gave me strength to live again.
