Child Empath

whispered image
unseen by rest of family
directing child

fleeting image
reserved for child empath,
angel instructions

grandma says good-bye
child surrounded by love,
a whisper of thanks

I have heard it said that, "angels stay with children for the first 5 years of their lives and the child can often see them. " This poem reminded me of that statement.
