    Going home

    The angels have been summoned
    And given their mission
    To bring home an angel
    Whose prayers have been heard

    Sick for a while
    With no cure in sight
    She Reade's herself
    For the trip of her life

    Angels now surround her
    During the night
    One cuddles her, one sings
    One prays it is almost time

    Her family around her
    With tears in their eyes
    Hear the dreaded words
    She is fading say your good byes

    Angels are singing louder and louder 
    Surrounding this soul that will
    Find joy in an hour
    The angels singing turn into cries
    They can not help but cry for
    Those left behind

    The family cries  louder
    Monitors beeping counting
    Down the hour in an instant
    It is over medicine lost it's power

    Angels take flight with a beautiful soul
    She is smiling and dancing
    Pain she feels no more

    The light oh so bright 
     Lights the path back home
    Family and friends in the past
    She had known stand there clapping
    Welcoming her home
    Her journey is over she will now rest

    The Angels are summoned
    And given their mission
    To bring home an angels
    Whose prayer have been heard

    To read of one "going home" with the love and care of angels is such a pleasant read indeed. You've a gifted knack for writing of reality that appeases this reader.

    Thank you angel!!!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
