Fallen Angels

There are fallen Angels amongst us,
And for each one a broken heart,
From those of us left grieving,
In a world now seeming dark.

For those who've made their journey,
Crossing over to the other side,
Son's and Daughter's now set free,
But not because they've died.

Death is just a word we use,
Signalling our time on earth is through,
We shed our earthly bodies,
Transforming into something new.

Being greeted at the Gates Of Heaven,
We begin an Eternal Life,
Having been forgiven for all our sins,
Now free of all worldly strife.

God hugs and gathers His Angels,
And speaks of what we must do,
He then writes down in golden words,
A promise to watch over you.

He knows your heart is shattered in two,
That's why He's provided us with Faith,
To give us the strength to carry on,
Until we too may take our place.

On the days you bend down on your knees,
Overcome with sadness and despair,
Just remember that your Special Angel,
Is kneeling beside you there.

Do not live your days filled with sorrow,
But replace it with anticipation instead,
Knowing in your heart that your child awaits,
When into their home you'll be led.

And when this day has come to an end,
While you are laying in bed tonight,
Feel the arms of your Angel holding you,
Say "Hi sweetheart'..and hold them tight.
