Nine Dragons Poet Lyric

Every Day an Angel

I placed a rose on the seat of your chair
In your lap if you had been there
The warm winds soothe my tired face,
Softly as your hand’s warm embrace

My eyes close in thoughts of you
How we’d sit before the ocean’s view
In paired prayer for the day to never end
In paired prayer, thankful  for such a friend

Then the day came prayer couldn't prevent
All good things end. Even angels heaven sent-
Need return to foster light in another’s dark life
I’m thankful for everyday an angel was my wife

Jeanette Swan December 26, 2025 at 3:42 AM What a thoughtful poem, that you have found moments of thankfulness in your grief. Nine Dragons December 26, 2025 at 11:31 AM This was more a write from empathy felt after being placed in the body and mind of a husband celebrating his wife's memory, in a scene that that came, played out in my head, and left. A day dream, I guess, from who knows where. Thank you for the kind comment.
