"Following Angels"

Head hung low in mourning

The wave of deep sadness washes over you

Slow at first...

Then to a steady surging stream of emotions flow

The realization builds with every beat of the heart

That devastation is no longer a word

It now has taken up residence within you

And has borrowed your name

Through whispered pieces of broken prayer

You filter through memories...

For all the moments lost

And the ones that will never be made

Wishing time could reverse

You would go back

And do so much more...

But in the searching of the time line of life

Unknown to you, a certainty holds you

Faith keeps you moving

And hope holds you

Just because the one you loved is now out of sight

Does not mean they can be or will ever be erased from your mind

Because they are with you

Watching all of us from the heavens

Those whom we love and lost...

Are no longer where they were before in our lives

Because they are now wherever we are

Carried within our being

Until we all meet again in that divine place above

When angles lead us in.
