Angelic

"We can all be an angel to someone." By Poet

I can still remember,
the days of years gone by.
We were so young and carefree,
time did not exist for us.
We loved life,
and life loved us back.
Years and time left us,
left us standing still.
Awakening one day to find all had changed,
we were now old and frail.
Your peach and cream skin has wrinkles,
your brunet hair is now a pretty soft gray.
One thing has not changed,
your angelic personality,
You were my angel the day we first met,
today after all the years you are still my angelic angel.

A very profound poem of love and respect for a much loved aunt and uncle Paula. Beautifully articulated with sensitivity and feelings of Love. Thank you for sharing your personal feelings of love and grief for those much loved and missed. They remain within us (in our love for them and memories), they visit us in our dreams and when we need them most. They are never far from us, though we sometimes think they are; they are always with us. Xx

Such a beautiful, tender, romantic poem Paula. Love conquers all! I agree - there’s an angel out there for everyone if we spread our wings to give to each other. Blessings to you.

Alas we all have to go through the process of getting old. Yet most important the love of a family will always be remembered.

Awwn, how magical and heartwarming this is, angelic in all its essence.. The descriptions are full of beauty and the depth is heartfelt.. Inner gorgeousness and purity of the heart matters in the end.. Not the appearance.. Such a golden piece :)
