Broken Soul

A broken soul knelt down to pray

On that very sorrowful day

Grief consumed that person heart

Wishing that day never had a start

An angel came and wrapped her wings

As the warm soft feathers comforted

Grief poured out of the heart

And the tears ran tell they could run no more

Feeling seemed to have vanished

But time will heal this soul

And they will truly know

That the wing of an angel

Lifted their loved ones home.

This is very moving, Phyllis, and I hope you have not experienced a recent loss. Still, I can tell you have a very spiritual nature and can take such losses in stride because of your strong faith. Indeed, it takes time for the soul to heal and there are ups and downs along the way. God bless you for sharing this beautifully written poem. Love, carolyn
