The Making Of An Angel

I should be scared,

And I should be scarred,

I should be nursing a breaking heart,

But I can't seem to care.

 

All I can do is love you,

Grasp for hands holding mine,

And hold my pain inside,

So I can find my way through.

 

Maybe I'm drowning,

I don't need to swim anymore,

There's a Rock nearby,

And then, suddenly...

 

I can see.
I swear I've never seen your face,

Dear God, I've been to this place,

This is my first time being free.

 

I can stand again,

And I am beauty,

But better than my wings,

I just met my best friend.

Author's Note

For my pastor's wife, she passed away today. A tribute to her and entering heaven. Love you Aunty Diana!

It's so kind of you to write a poem about her. I feel sad for you. I hope you'll feel better soon.

Good people when they leave us. Open doors of sadness. Only cure is good people and knowing they will be Angels waiting for us we hope. A excellent poem.

Sorry for you loss :( I'm sure she would have loved this poem.
A lovely write remembering her.

Great job. Not so God-fearing this side of the Pond, but respect your beautifully-expressed salvo for salvation.

I love this. When so many people have no idea where they're going when they die, I love knowing that I know where I'm going. And I think she did too =)
