Farewell My Angel

Farewell my Angel

 
She fell so far then out of sight, she lost all hope embraced her night, 
she could have been all that I saw, held firm her faith and gained it all.
My hopeful heart was shattered then, alas but this the sin of men, 
To embrace true love and then deny, this tragic sin makes angles cry
So much deceived within their hearts, as God reveals, His love imparts. 
How can she think, of course she knows… truth resonates each faithful soul. 
Can any doubt this love so pure, its heaven sent oh be assured!
I pray someday she see her sin and allow this love to live again.
And even if I’ve breathed my last my love for her eternal… fast. 
Lord help her find that special one who will love her just as I have done
Oh bring her back to touch this place where angels sing her dreams are safe, 
this blessed gift gives sight in part and strength to heal her wounded heart.
