Angels Wings

It's so hard
to say goodbye
when ones we love
fly
away on angels wings
so hard to remember
goodbye
is not forever
just a moment
in time
a fleeting moment
to be endured by the
faithful
to be overcome
by the children of
God
but still we
cry
sad but true
cry we do
please
just hold on
until the angels
come for 
you

Beautifully written write, so sad and yet inspiring..Holding on until those angels come and take you home..Knowing then you would be in the best place possible-(In Gods Hands)--Yes we do cry and we mourn and miss those that have come and gone before us, but they will forever hold a special place in our hearts, for memories do last a lifetime...I never like saying goodbye, it's more like( Till we meet again). I love the title, its what captured my eyes..God Bless*Tyesha

This has a gentle tone to it and too reminds us that life as we know it is not permanent but love is and through faith we will see everyone again. Lovely. Michael
