One night as I sat beneath a tree <br />I cried to our dear Lord above <br />I looked up into the open sky and hoped he'd answer me <br />Lord I'm lost, I've traveled far but I still seem to roam <br />Please light the way and lead me back home <br /> <br />I told Him of my burdens <br />And of the everlasting sadness in my heart <br />That from his lost love I never felt so apart <br />Why did you take my grandad, Lord? <br />I just can not comprehend why <br />No longer can I touch his face or hold his hand <br />His loving smile has gone <br /> <br />I'm angry, Lord <br />I'm missing him like mad <br />I drowning in my greif and sorrow <br />Please help me heal my sad <br /> <br />It was then I heard his gentle voice <br />And felt his presence near <br />How I longed for him to stay <br />As I cried another tear <br /> <br />He said, 'I'm an angel now <br />My spirit is free <br />I am an angel in heaven <br />So please don't cry for me <br />I was chosen by our Lord above and now I am in his care <br />When you need me look inside your heart <br />I promise I'll be there <br />I am an angel in heaven now <br />So if you can not find your way <br />or the road home just seems to far <br />Look to the sky, I'll be your guiding star' <br />He said, 'I'm an angel now <br />My spirit is free <br />I'ma n angel in heaven now <br />No need to cry for me.'<br /><br />Brie Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angel-in-heaven/
