An Angel Without Wings
by Sue Tancheff
An angel came but he wasn't to stay
How broken were our hearts that day
So deeply loved
But needed in heaven above
Our souls were crushed
He was gone all too soon
So perfect in every way
All too soon was he taken away
Too good for this world, he was needed elsewhere
The sorrow and grief was just so hard to bear
Why him? we would ask
And receive no reply
As a tear trickled down from the corner of my eye
A life cut so short
We could not understand
We wouldn't see him grow into a handsome young man
Life can be so unfair
Too easily we forget
Just one precious chance
Is all that we get
An angel without wings
Not a day this life brings
When we don't feel that you're near
And we wish you were here
It just wasn't to be
Although we just couldn't see
Why such a tragedy came to be
Sleep peacefully beautiful angel……………. |
I live in Melbourne, Australia and only recently have I begun writing poetry about my life experiences. I wrote the poem "An Angel Without Wings" for my good friend, Katrina whose first born baby was stillborn and I dedicate the poem to his treasured memory.
