Snow Angels

She said, "Daddy let's make snow angels, 

Before the snow begins to melt"

She couldn't have known how much she'd grown

And the pride that her daddy felt

She was ten years old going on twenty

And her angels were always the best

But I'd let her win just to see her grin

I'll bet you've already guessed

Her angels would always disappear

In the Spring, Summer and Fall

But before Winter came I learned a new name

When leukemia came to call

I would sit with her, beside her bed

As the snow came tumbling down

She said, "Daddy can you see, she's as pretty as can be,

In her beautiful snow white gown

When I looked around the empty room

My little girl closed her eyes

"My snow angel's here" she whispered so dear

And then my little girl dies

She said, "Daddy let's make snow angels, 

Before the snow begins to melt"

She couldn't have known how much she'd grown

And the pride that her daddy felt

Oh my oh my... very touching and sad poem, and such care. I love this write, the quotes are so nice and give this all the more feeling. The bits of rhyming in the poem fit so well with the flow of the poem. I love the story in this, so touching. Really really nice write. Love the way you wrote the snow angels in this. This poem needs more reviews.
