May The Angels Watch Over You

(poems dedicated to my dear friend)

           May The Angels Watch Over You (poem #1)

 

May the angels watch over you my friend throughout this trial

The times we've shared together I shall always treasure

Angels in heaven are shedding tears for you and so am I

Watch for a miracle, have faith and believe in the power of healing

Over and over again I shall pray for you my friend

You mean so very much to me and so much more to the lord

 

             May the Angels Watch Over You (poem #2)

 

M ay the angels watch over you my friend

A sad day it was when I got the news

Y ou were diagnosed with lung cancer

 

T he thought of losing you hurts so deep

H eaven knows what a beautiful person you are

E ven as I write this poem tears fall upon the pages

 

A year ago when I lost my son you were right here by my side

N ow that is what true friendship is all about isn't it

G ood times we had so many growing up together didn't we

E verybody went their own way somehow we stayed friends

L ife can be wonderful and then it can throw you a curve ball

S ending my love and my prayers to you I hope you find comfort

 

W hat do I say to you, you've been more like a sister to me

A ll I can do is offer you my support if you need me just call me

T hinking about you tonight as I watch the cresent moon

C louds floating by just a few in the night sky

H eartbroken am I for you

 

O h how I remember the first time we met we were so young

V ery young and we had such wonderful dreams didn't we

E verybody was there and we danced and had so much fun

R ecalling the way we became best friends forever and always

 

Yvonne, you will always be my best and dearest friend

O kay sis? I love you and I always will love you and your children too

U ntil the stars fall from the sky...

"O kay sis? I love you and I always will love you and your children too

[George Love]

Very inspiring actually. Great work, wonderful feel to it!

What a beautiful acrostic Debileah...but painfully sad for the reason you wrote it. a loving prayer for your friend who certainly needs God's help. Miracles do happen Debileah. Only God determines when it's our time to go. Perhaps your friend's time is not yet. Prayer is the most powerful medicine there is.

Your poetry is certainly going to life the spirits of your dear friend. Its lines are filled with love and caring. Your final lines were especially heart-warming. I am wishing for all the best for her and for you. Sharon

[Justin Tobey]

This is a sweet, touching poem. Beautiful imagery, and you can feel mountains of emotion. I'm so sorry.

My one critique would be to change "angel's" to "angels." It looks like you were trying to create the plural, but it's possessive. Other than that tiny grammatical error, it's wonderful. :)

[These Haunted Hallways]

Awwww, this was such a very sweet, heartfelt and compassionate poem with much love and sincerity :) Such beautiful words of hope came from ur soul, and im sure ur friend would love this piece!!!! Im heartfully sorry about the diagnosis, however, Im very sure she will pull thru this. I will say a prayer for her :) I had a tear in this piece. Very moving words. Wonderful and creative acrostic!
