Angel (Why Did You Leave?)
To try to tell you how I feel;
I tried so hard to win this fight;
The loss of you has become too real;
I close my eyes and say a prayer;
I tried to shut you out of my mind;
Life has been so hard without you here;
Pain is all that you left behind;
I wish I had told you from the start;
I wish that you could be with me;
I feel the heavy weight of my heart;
Tell me, why did you have to leave?
Yet even now I know you are here;
I can feel you all around me;
A special guardian angel dear;
That is what I have come to believe;
Hold me close against the dark of night;
Until the dawn of the morning sun;
I will be better in the rays of light;
When the new day has just begun;

Post a CommentBeautifully done.
Well written. The picture speaks a thousand words.
Dear Lisa, there is no answer to the tormenting question "Why?" That's the way the world works, that's all: storms assault the good and the bad alike. I'm sure your sister is embracing night and day from her now far remove, willing you to fell a renewal of courage and confidence even in your loss.
Beautiful. Enjoyed.
