You've made your peace, my friend <br />before you jumped. <br />You had compelling reasons <br />so you say. <br />There was no road <br />you could have taken <br />past <br />those black conclusions. <br /> <br />It was, perhaps, not altogether wise <br />to lay your plans in front of us, <br />who -left behind- <br />with sagging shoulders, <br />and teary eyes, <br />were well prepared. <br />Yet knew the deed was wrong. <br /> <br />I understand you could have <br />waited for the signal, <br />from well above. <br />But in your stubborn mind <br />you dared not let the sceptre <br />for a second <br />out of your much <br />determined ones. <br />Those hands that took your life.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-angels-have-you-now/
