Making the Best of An Unexpected Crossed Path

our paths crossed
at the old lake
now all dried up

it was such a wonderful
feeling to see her smile 
again
still as beautiful as ever

our conversation inspired 
the rain
the lord refilled the 
overly thirsty lake

the stars were in abundance
the moon was in her best mood
her natural beauty was still unmatched 
in my eyes

against my best wishes
she told me she had to leave
her husband called and said he 
and the kids were starving something
awful

i wanted to say something (more),
but i had no choice but to respect
reality's expression of the truth

that most wonderful night was the last 
time that i saw and spoke with her

the next time i saw her, she was laying 
in a coffin on her 48th birthday

rest easy, Precious Angel
i will always cherish our 
shared memories together
