Eve Roper Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

He Took His Last Breath

Sonny Doyal Roper

October 14, 1943 - August 29, 2018

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

Faraz Ajmal September 21, 2018 at 3:15 PM Your husband sure has written a really nice poem for Victor, was he ever on poetrysoup?, I recently read a blog and there I discovered the dreadful news that your husband has died, I am so sorry for your loss, he was in army,right? And he sure looks like a really nice guy. When a close one leaves us, the pain is immense, but the sad thing is that the life goes on and we find another reason to live, perhaps this is life. Every soul has to taste death,you two sure will reunite in heaven, good luck

Curtis Moorman September 17, 2018 at 7:32 AM Eve, how beautiful this is! I am a counselor at a rehab center called Angels In Flight. My 'angels' steal my heart and then, unfortunately, some of them crush my heart by relapsing --- some of whom relapse to the point of death. I just want you to know that the coincidence in reading this poem and it being entitled Angels In Flight made me wish to tell you that there angels all around, not seen, but there.

Besma Riabi Dziri September 15, 2018 at 2:39 AM These are words of souls who, on their journey of bravery and heroism, face that mysterious face of death with no shiver in hearts or sway in body.. Such a valiant beautiful soul only angels of the highest rank "will guide him hand in hand" to the Divine! Achingly beautiful and gripping piece of heavenly write! A FAV. Dear Eve, May your soulmate rest in peace and may God shower upon you inner peace. My deepest sympathy. My best regards. Blessed be always.

Leon Enriquez September 13, 2018 at 7:22 PM Dear Eve: May you find peace and joy in the fond memory of your beloved Sonny. RIP. Deepest condolences from the East. Leon

Ralph Sergi September 3, 2018 at 1:59 PM Although this belated, I would hope that you will always have something to remember him including your beautiful poem. I have my brother's ring that I wear each day. Eve Roper September 3, 2018 at 2:40 PM Ralph, your thoughts and words are very comforting. I'm very fortunate that he did write this poem to Victor and was lucky that he didn't give away one of his angel rosaries. He made them but only a handful with angels. Thank you dear friend
