An Angel In Your Eyes
It was a typical day, in late December.
The sun was shining, as a burning ember.
The hustle and bustle of Christmas cheer.
To all the chaos, I chose to adhere!
Just as many of those days before.
I hit it running, with chores galore!
The hospital was to be my first stop.
A small gift for you, I found in the shop.
To your room, I eagerly went.
A moment with you, time I spent.
It wasn’t like the previous days.
It seemed as though, you were in a haze!
The doves were prancing, on the window sill.
We watched for a second, as time stood still!
I cherish those minutes, when I combed your hair.
And rubbing your feet, and our time in prayer!
Could I have known, what was soon to come?
Why didn’t I see, was I that dumb?
With limited time, and many things to do:
I gently kissed your head, and blew right through!
I should have realized- yes, I should have known.
That you were preparing, for your journey home!
I remember well, that day your last breath was drawn.
It’s been nearly nine years, since you have been gone!
If I could go back and change that day:
With you mom, I would definitely stay!
I would softly whisper in your ear.
And I would make it very clear!
The time we shared, was not a waste.
You gave me life, and I embraced!
Today is your birthday and dad is here.
And to your memory we do endear!
You left a legacy, your sweet love.
and of it we do speak thereof!
The day you left took me by surprise,
You are now, an angel in my eyes!
