Elana

A daughter, a sister, an aunt and a friend.
Always a helping hand to lend
Her life on this earth, too soon did end.
So she's found a new home with the angels.

Always so selfless, so caring and kind.
Such wisdom, such insight, so brilliant a mind
No freer a spirit will ever you find
Than this one that now flies with the angels

Philisophic, creative and bold
She saw the best in every soul
And in our lives shall be a hole
To fill with fond thoughts of our angel

She helped so many, too many to name
You could ask each one, they would tell you the same.
She's returned to heaven, from where she first came
It seems she was always an Angel.

Beautifully done, Joe. A subtle and sweet write, made for the heart and eyes of this angel. Love the last two lines, "she was always an Angel"...if Angels come to earth to lighten and brighten another's life, she has certainly surpassed her duties. Lovely piece, Joe! Wishing the best to you and yours...God's blessings! Mikki
