As I sit under This big oak tree A little girl Approaches me With her clothes torn and tattered Her eyes filled with tears and pain She says can you please help me As it begins to rain I am trying to find my mommy and daddy They had to go away But they promised before they left me They wouldn't be far away They said when I look up to the heaven's And see the shining stars That they would be watching over me Wherever they are I began to cry As we looked up to the evening sky I pulled her close and said Your mommy and daddy didn't lie They have gone to heaven Not far away And you will all be Together again someday She wrapped her arms around me And held me so tight She whispered soft and gentle I'm going to be with them tonight I closed my eyes and dried my tears And when I opened them Two angels appeared We've come to get our baby And take her to heaven Today our little angel Got her little wings. |

Okay so a cowboy can have a moment of release can't he? This one truely brought tears to my eyes. This is one beautiful piece of work and you should be commended on your thoroughness of painting the picture in our minds. |

Thank you so much everyone.Your words bring a smile to my heart.When I was writing this it didn't bother me but when I stopped and read the whole poem it brought tears to my eyes.This is one of my favorite forum not only for the beautiful poetry but for your compassion for other's.Sometimes I get a big smile just reading the uplifting comments to someone else's work. |
