Angel's Wings

Having recently lost my Aunt, my mother's sister, and now being very close to losing my Uncle, my dad's brother, I was prompted to write this poem during my journal time with God. I hope it provides comfort to others...

Angel's Wings

by Bonnie Terk

Angel's wings wrap around the soul

For a journey to the afterglow

Where youth restored won't grow old

And vibrant gardens begin to unfold

To those who sought, asked and knocked

The gates swing open

Not narrow, but wide

To welcome a friend to eternal life

Where mothers hold their babes once more

And families are forever restored

To what the heavenly Father chose

From the beginning of time arose

Weep not for those in the heavenly realm

For their troubles are gone and their memories are well

Weep for the memories no longer created

And hold tight to the ones already stated

Live as though they are by your side

For they look over you from eternal life

Keeping watch both day and night

Waiting with opened arms for your souls flight

Don't hurry through the life your living

But cherish every breath your breathing

For there is a reason and purpose for you to proclaim

And when he greets you God will explain

Be joyful for the time you've had

Whether it was short or long lived

For the time spent with loved ones lost

Was a blessing from your loving God
