Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

In Her Sleep

in her sleep…she’s gone
beloved aunt, mother, grandma, sister
adored, she’s so much more
she shut her eyes, likely after prayer
found herself at the pearly gates

we’re all numb
thought she’d be on earth
for quite a while
she appeared shipshape 

but the angels 
of our Lord and Savior
brought her home

Rest in peace, dear Auntie
Tears of mourning…we lost you
Tears of joy…Jesus has you

Her son said it was chilling, my dad says he’s totally broken. She was a wonderful woman. The angels just came to take her to her heavenly home.
