Today, I’ll speak with an angel

Today, I’ll speak with an angel
Not just any angel,
But a special one
My child

I will say many things
And know my child hears
My child will comfort me
As I shed countless tears

My questions need answers
But when I ask “why”?
“One day you will know”
Is the gentle reply

I ask “Please visit me”
And the words softly came. . .
“I always am with you”
Just call out my name

And then came the voice
I was anxious to hear
From my child, my dearest
Whispered soft in my ear

Please know at those times
In your sorrowful cries
It is me that will wipe
All the tears from your eyes

When the pain you are feeling
Becomes too much to bear
My arms are around you
To give comfort and care

My arms ache as yours
To be held and to hold
To sit next to you
Sharing memories of old

Then I’ll gaze in your eyes
Overflowing with love. .
And wait for the day
When we’ll meet above
