Black Angel

It’s hard to describe what you meant to us But that won’t stop me from trying Unafraid, you spoke great truths Although you did your share of lying But we’ve all made our mistakes Your atonement made you wise And your purest heart of hearts Made it harder for goodbyes You were far from being perfect With your perfectly human flaws But that added to your beauty And fueled your righteous cause With strength and endurance, you paid your dues Lived your life both proud and humble Always there for those you loved To mend the pieces that would crumble Although branded a black sheep Shunned by flock and your own mother Know you graced us with your presence And a spirit like no other Now you watch us from above Guiding us through each mountain climb Giving us hope that we will see you When God calls and it’s our time So until we meet again on that fateful day Black Angel, spread those wings We’ll cherish your sweet memory And all the love it brings To my beloved Grandmother, Diana, RIP Love, Marilyn
