Angels

You always found a way to be in wonderland

You could turn your head and laugh at bitter days

So as I held your fragile hand

I couldn't help but think

That my sadness for your broken life

seemed out of place

Cause in the loneliness and sorrow

of that sterile room

Amid the waiting that hung heavy in the air

A glory meshed with murmurings your efforts made

And approached you as the end came near

And I could almost hear the angels

As they sang their heavenly song

I could almost hear them saying

Welcome home

I watched you as your glazed eyes looked around you

And I wondered at the things that you could see

Then spirit met raw life in suspended time

And I didn't dare breathe

They bent to kiss your cold forehead

and say their last goodbye

Their tears fell warm upon your face

But with quiet peace, joy at your release

You embraced a brand new day

And I could almost hear the angels

As they sang their heavenly song

I could almost hear them saying

Welcome home
