Angels Among Us
An angel ascended to heaven tonight
Free from the constraints of her earthly being.
She slipped past her loved ones as they said goodbye
And traveled the light path that beckoned her soul.
While her past lay before her, she searched through the years
Of tragedy and triumph, of love and regret.
She had said her goodbyes and made her amends,
Her lessons well learned and a life well lived,
A legacy of love for those left behind.
Catching a moonbeam, she soared through the stars.
Closer to heaven and those that await.
A beautiful reunion with those she had loved
Having journeyed before her and traveled their light.
She will bask in the glory of her newfound awareness
While she awaits her earthbound loved ones to call
With outstretched arms as our angel she will wait
To guide us home safely as we soar through the stars and catch our own
moonbeam until safe in her arms.
