I stood beside you <br />as you slumbered <br />peaceful in your forever sleep <br />hopeless washed over helpless <br />nothing left to do but weep into hands <br />tied by circumstance <br />I swear even the angels wept <br />as they carried you away <br />I will always wonder <br />if watching idle was the thing to do <br />or did I help kill you in my own way. <br />however it happened, <br /> I know you. <br />your forgiveness always abounds <br />someday you will wrap me in your wings <br />and sing a song to remind me <br />that we will never have to say goodbye again. <br /> <br />1-19-08 <br />granny<br /><br />shannon wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/even-the-angels-cried/
