Special Angel

I remember it quite clearly
As if it were yesterday
Cupid shot me with his arrow
Then went on his merry way

A special angel delivered
So innocent and pure
He left a handprint on my heart
That soon became the cure

Love burns bright in youthful eyes
And life becomes a dream
But with the changing tides of fate
We meet a new extreme

Christmas came and Christmas went
Before I got the call
A broken voice began to speak
And said sorry, but it's Paul

To the hospital we traveled
And I began to pray
A silent vigil by his side
As hours turned to days

The special angel's time had come
To spread his wings and fly
But even though he left this earth
I refused to say goodbye

A gentle breeze upon my cheek
A kiss from the heavens above
A heart full of memories
To remind me of his love

As time continues marching on
I know I'm not alone
For through the heavens, peering down
I have a special angel of my own

This was so beautiful and bittersweet.
I am sending this to my mother.  She suffered a similar loss quite a few years ago but has continued to feel Ed by her side ever since. What a wonderful trubute and fantastic first post. I am adding this to my private library for future reads too and do look forward to reading more of your work here.

Dear Jackie, I promised to email your poem to my mother..... this is what she wrote back.
"It was 14 years ago yesterday that Ed passed away.  Thank you for helping me
to remember him - he was and still is my "angel".  It still hurts like
yesterday.

Love

Mom"

Thank you for sharing your heart with us, you have deeply touched at least two lives today.
