The Army of AngelsA Poem by Michaela Maloney
The Army of Angels
I am waiting at the gate
He has been gone for a year
And I haven’t heard from him in a couple of months
They release the men and they run to their families
I search for him desperately
I look and I look but I see nothing
Then a man walks up to me in full uniform
A priest by his side
The man tells me that he’s not coming home
I begin to cry,
But then I look at the child who is only three that will never get to know her father
Because God needed him in his Army
The Army of Angels
