Although I cannot see you, I feel your presence here <br />The comforting feeling that surrounds me, assures me you are near <br />You’ve come to take my hand, and release me from this pain <br />My body is giving up, no longer able to take the strain <br /> <br /> For years I fought with dignity, I swore I’d prove them wrong <br />It was only your love and strength, which kept me going strong <br />Your no longer by my side, it was me, who begged you not to stay <br />I knew you could not handle this, this day when I went away <br /> <br />I’ll take with me the memories, and the love that we two shared <br />I’ll forever remember you smiling face, and your blue eyes which showed you cared <br />I’ll remember your ever gentle touch, and the sweet smell of your perfume <br />I’ll take every memory made with you, as I leave this earthbound tomb <br /> <br />I’ll take my place among the stars, and join the countless others <br />Those of us who are looking down, watching over our sisters and brothers <br />So please don’t shed a tear, when you find out that I’ve passed <br />I’m just another angel, in the army that Gods amassed <br /> <br /> I know you want to be here, standing right by my side <br />But I don’t want your last memories of me, to be of the day I died <br />Don’t you worry baby, thru your memories, I’ll forever roam <br />For God has sent and Angel, to bring another warrior home<br /><br />Poison 9901<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angels-touch/
