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!

It's nothing like inspiration to create a great work. I hope it made the eulogy.
