Angel in Heaven
As I write this the tears won't stop
Streaming down my face
To this day it is hard to accept
You are now in a better place
At first we thought it was only the flu
So we kept our faith as we all knew
Of course you would make it through
All the testing they had to do
The news of your illness
Was incomprehensible
You were playing dress up
Just two weeks ago
At age four you were stronger
Than any adult I ever knew
I wanted to hold you one more time
Even when your body was blue
Before you left us
You whispered in my ear
How excited you were to meet God
Because you knew Gus was there
You said your doggy went to heaven
Way high up in the sky
To wait for you
When it was your time to fly

Valerie…this is such a tender write of loose. You write with strength even though the reality is not what you want it to be. The whisper in your ear was so reassuring and accepting. A better place, yes, I believe that…there no sickness there but Gus is!

Aww Val! Your comment made me smile. I know she is up there with Gus looking down watching over us. Thank you for your kind words. That just made my day. ♥
A wonderful poem of a little hero after life, just as he was in life and sounds to be, as inspiring to all, that came to know him, just as the lady inviting us, into the intimate last moments, of his final words, left to her, in life. He and Gus, is once again united and i am sure, has many new, life long sights, to be seen and loved ones,(just as you and such as you), to be remembered, just like two weeks ago. Take Care Valerie, as i always hope, to be the case for you and a wonderfully written piece, of your heart to us,)in this poem) to your friends and readers.....
Well Wishes Always,
Jimmy
Beautifully written Valerie, I could feel the emotion in every word :)
Val the sentiment in this poem made me well up!! This is going to be a hard topic to cover this month. I think anyone, particularly with children, would find it hard to get to the end of this write without feeling it! The last stanza was so sweet :)
Thank you everyone for your kind words. This was a difficult piece to write, as it was in memory of someone I did know. I know she is in a better place but it is still difficult to comprehend all that happened. Thank you for taking the time to read and share your loving words! Much Love!

Valerie,
You are such a beauty with a certain depth to the way you express your feelings in your writing. I wish I could vote for you but I have no idea how to do it.
I believe since there is a true story behind this poem it should be nominated so more people can view the story of this remarkable little girl.
Keep sharing, we care :-)
Thank you Linda :)
Your comment made me tear up as I wish she did not have to suffer with the illness she had. Children shouldn't have to suffer at all.
Thank you all who viewed and voted for me. It is an honor to share my writings on this amazing website.
