Cloud Angels In Memoriam

Angels in a cloudy sky; So slowly do they float on by. My late sister paints them there; Her way of saying, “don’t despair”. She was an artist, in mortal life; Art relieved her stress and strife. Also, she wrote poetry but, Her journals, on a shelf, are now shut. Oh the things she could have done; Cancer once again has won. God has her painting angels now; When I see them, I’m always wowed! So intricate are they and Raphaelite; Those cloud angels, do delight.

A gorgeous tribute to your sister; I am so glad she found her painting and her art and her poetry before she returned home. Nice one M.L. There is a sweetness.

Thank you, me too. She did some beautiful work over the years. She even paid her rent with it. Her last landlady let her pay with a mural of the four seasons. With the cancer she struggled to work.

It was, beautifully done; one of her best works and the owner allowed them to display it at her funeral. Thanks again.

Thank you Heidi, my sister loved angels. She even did a painting that was a, "Child's view of Heaven"; they displayed it at her funeral and it was amazing.
