Sweet Angel of Mayfield
Sweet angel of Mayfield
lifted into the air.
She was the sweetheart
of a town…their prayer.
She’s a representative
of a dozen kids
who will spend Christmas
off the earthly grid.
We look into her hopeful face…
there was a moment
where the world thought
the twister might hand a bestowment
to a town torn up.
the light in babe’s eyes
a twinkle in heaven…
as earth weeps ‘goodbye.’
Reminders that life is short,
sometimes very short…
Many in Mayfield left
by windswept transport.
Sweet angel of Mayfield
merely a representative
of a town torn asunder
with no preventative.
Reminder to hug loved ones
tight —
give your hearts to God
right now.
