Were You An Angel

Were you an angel or just my bright star?
To me, you were best, at least better by far…

Your beauty a beacon for lost, weary souls;
your smile an angel’s with heavenly glow;
your laughter a gift of surprise and delight,
His opus composed to erase dark from night.

Is it true you have gone; you have left us from here?
It is true I will miss you each day of the year.

A beautiful and heart touching poem expressing the loss of someone close wonderfully. Your poem though feels happy in the sense that the memories of this angel still bring much joy to your world. A wonderful piece of writing my friend.

This was one who left without a trace. Still hard to believe they're gone. Just wanted to paint a picture of the joy this person brought into my life.
