An angel came but he wasn't to stay How broken were our hearts that day So deeply loved But needed in heaven above Our souls were crushed He was gone all too soon So perfect in every way All too soon was he taken away Too good for this world, he was needed elsewhere The sorrow and grief was just too much to bear Why him? we would ask And receive no reply As a tear trickled down from the corner of my eye A life cut so short We could not understand We wouldn't see him grow into a handsome young man Life can be so unfair Too easily we forget Just one precious chance Is all that we get An angel without wings Not a day this life brings When we don't feel that you're near And we wish you were here It just wasn't to be Although we just couldn't see Why such a tragedy came to be Sleep peacefully beautiful angel......... |

Losing a child is an horrendous thing. May the Lord continue to give you peace in his memory. |

This is a truely sad poem, yet I see it written in a way that will help those left behind to recover from such a loss in their lives. |

Perhaps that's exactly why he has passed on...The Lord wanted your angel close to him.. knowing you would meet him again. (one day) Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for. |

A very special Welcome to Passions! Your own poetry is a fine example of sharing what you, too will find as you read others... Please check your e-mail for a special message! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

WELCOME! This is beautiful! A reminder of how short our time really is here. I really believe they're too good for the world, and needed more somewhere else. Very touching, specially in light of all these school shootings. It's so sad. <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |

I havent replied to any poetry in a while and rarely even then in Open, but this piece was so beautiful and sad. Everyone is an angel from God waiting for our wings to fly, be it here on earth or in heaven. Your child must indeed have been special to God for he needed him early. You will see him again some day.

Lovely and sad. I've heard that babies are bits of stardust blown from the hand of God...sometimes He needs those bits back sooner than other. Take care. |

Suetang, God only loans us His children. I know I forget this each time one is born into our family. All I can think is you must be very special for Him to take this angel back so soon. How wonderful of you to share this with us and as you first poem here. Thank you and hugs, ME |

I know this feeling, my friend...it is hard to find a reason why a child leaves this earth...you have expressed your feelings beautifully. |
