God's Special Choice

In the early morning Before the sun’s first smile With an angel by my side I rode my last mile. She whispered in my ear In a gentle soothing voice Fear not my child You are God’s special choice. I love you all More than I could ever say And I’m so sorry I had to leave you this way. Though you may not see me I’ll always be there Wrapping you in my arms With loving care. I’ll be the gentle breeze That kisses your cheek I’m the calming presence When life seems too bleak. Take a deep breath Of the fresh cut hay My spirit surrounds you Each and every day. I’m the gentle rain Dancing on the roof Hear my whisper Beneath a prancing hoof. When the leaves turn colors And dance to the ground You’ll see my smile Scattered all around I’ll be that dainty snowflake That lands on your nose Making you smile Beneath winter’s pose. I’ll whisper in your ear In a gentle soothing voice Fear not my family I am God’s special choice. This poem was written for a coworker's daughter who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. No words can ever ease her family's pain, but hopefully this poem will remind them that she is always watching over them, protecting them, loving them!
