Death of An Angel

DEATH OF AN ANGEL My fragile child had made a snow angel One morning in the schoolyard white; Then, flying home after the school bell, Her little life was dashed by a car, outright. The snow angel melted that day, Disappeared under the yard grass tall. Now, a lifetime later, I’d say You’d hardly know it existed at all.
