Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

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.
