The Angels- A poem by Rebecca Wood
the guardian angel
The Angels
I wrote this poem late one night while thinking about a women who died from giving child birth. It saddens me to hear of such sorrow but I have created a way to look through the woman's eyes in this poem. May this be a pain reliever to anyone that has suffered the loss of a woman from child birth.
So if you remember me after I'm gone
Try to remember that it is a new dawn
When this angel leaves, one will replace it
It's just the way of life, we have to face it
I will still live on
Long after I'm gone
Because the angel who replaced me
Will look like and embrace me
No, she will not know it
But you will see that she will show it
A sparkle in her eye, a glisten in her hair
She will be warmhearted and do all that is fair
So my last smile will be joined by a tear
Don't cry, just hold our baby girl and know that I'm near
So baby, don't be mad or sad
Just know you were the best I ever had
I'll be watching over both of you
And remember my love will always stay true
