My Grief Angel
My Grief Angel sat down and
tapped me on the shoulder
So I looked up
"Why do you weep?" she asked
I replied "I weep because I'm fed up with life"
She said, "The world is not so bad
Take a moment to look around at all the good you've done
You think your life is over
But it's only just begun"
But I tried so hard and it's all in vain
I cannot stop the wars, pollution or the acid rain
My family is falling apart before my very eyes
Years spent weaving through a loving disguise
"Yes" She said. "This is very true
You have done your best and for a time it will be undone
But time also heals and love will prevail
A light from heaven will come"
I mused for a time on her words
Feeling the weight of the world slip slowly off my shoulders
Tears of joy spilled over my cheeks
As I leaned over to gently hold her
