Notes About The Poem

 

Artist: Eve Roper

Hallelujah Amazing Grace

I proclaim, you came and stole my heart. You are my part that makes me want to breathe and live. Your death, a flame breath that has forged who I am. An Angel sings in the sky, I, underneath letting my hymn in your name run and fly, a hymn of whom I am. Hal-le-lu-jah... Amazing Grace 12/8/2018 ~<3~ Sonny Doyal Roper This poem was written by my husband last month for Victor Carmel Buhagiar with also a rosary he had made with angels as stations , so I decide to add Angels in Flight In darkness at day or night I'm never alone For I have six angels to see me home Nothing in this world I have to fear My six angels are always near When my troubles are hard to bear My angels are always there They will guard and watch over me Until this world I'm ready to leave And when it's my time to leave this land They will guide me hand in hand by Sonny Roper 7/30/2018

Eve, both poems are beautiful. I know Victor is suffering from the lost of his wife and you from the loss of your husband, so you are two souls connected in grief, wonderful ~

A beautiful dedication Eve, to Victor. Not only does Sonny live on in your heart but he does too with his words. Just saw that it was you who drew the picture, not only a poet but brilliant artist too. Tom.
