"our invisible, celestial, sublime, beatific angels . . . "

                                                    Quote by_Constance 


    when my father and mother died we were broken
        but knew they would be heavenly spirits
      dear God, we give you our angels,
            angels now guiding us . . .
              they are God's messengers
       no better angels could we have
         full of love, light and with beautiful souls
    because of our guardian angels we transcend

    when my baby and husband died I was shattered
         my baby lived a few hours in this life
       but that small angel has his wings
             we are sure he visits . . . 
                 is my husband with God
      for he committed suicide
         God, we pray that you give mercy for him
   in life he was kind, a giver, and a treasure

   when our grandma passed we were left with grief
         she was the family storyteller
      and reason I am a writer
             often, she guides my pen . . .

Your "our better angels" is a powerful/wonderful yet sad write. Our angels do watch over us until we meet again. "Good Luck" Have A Very Blessed Day Writing Away.................
