Angel Never seen and never heard, No answer to the spoken word But touch of love in whispered breath And harbor for your times of stress She hovers over you in sleep In hours when dreams are real and deep And spreads her wings above your bed And shines a halo round your head She stands behind in vigil’s hour Beside you when you bloom to flower She walks before the path you plod And reaches out the hand of God In restless nights of sorrow’s gloom She shines an opalescent moon And casts a light upon your soul That you may see the inner goal Then in a dream it comes to you This sorrow that is real and true It must be lived, it must be felt The piercing blow that you’ve been dealt It’s just as much a valid part As joys that linger in your heart In time your eyes will shine anew In all the love surrounding you The grief turns into memories And whispers through the swaying trees The past that’s etched into the eye Is joy and love in days gone by If I could have an angel lay A wish upon this coming day I’d ask that you be wrapped in white Of angel feathers soft and light That splendid tunes would dry a tear An angel harp to touch your ear An opal moon to shine you light A whispered breath to say good-night With much love Elizabeth Santos |

This is lovely and comforting, I'm sure it will bring serenity and her mother some solace. You're a true friend for penning this for her  Melissa~ |

Oh Liz...typing through tears and trembling fingers...what a lovely---no BEAUTIFUL poem you have written for her. I will bring this to her--mornings have been particularly hard for her as that was "their" time. Once again, I am overwhelmed. I very humbly thank you. |

Serenity The question you asked, I could only answer in poetry. May God's love light your way through this difficult time, and may your mother know that there is an angel watching over her. Thank you, dear poets for your comments. My love and best wishes to you, Serenity, and to your family Liz |

Oh Elizabeth your heart is showing, and what a brilliant light - it is almost blinding with love. Simply lovely and I know it will warm her heart. ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |
