Angels Cry

She was at her window listening to the rain Mind just wandering, immersed in pain She was wondering if it was true that angels cry Each time they see a child die They took some tests but it was too late It was in an area they couldn't operate She smiled at him and hid her fear They said at most another year How much pain can a mother endure? To look at her son and know there is no cure There are no words that can even start To soothe the pain in her broken heart The days and nights went quickly past The time had come he would breathe his last Her faith was put to the supreme test The day she laid her child to rest She is alone and prays each day The memory will forever stay Sometimes in her prayers she just asks why And she wonders if the angels cry.
