    When Angels Cried

    I believe in angels
    I saw one just today
    She sat beside a mother
    As they took her child away

    She wrapped her wings around her
    She listened while mom prayed
    Through coffee cups and flowing tears
    And yet the angel stayed

    Nurses, doctors came and went
    Daylight turned to eve
    Mom sat alone or paced the halls
    And yet the angel would not leave

    Scrubs of green approached the doors
    With paper shoes; mask hanging free
    The angel stayed because she knew
    The news was bad, you see

    A little boy was draped in light
    He joined the angel by her side
    They held mom's hand as she was told
    Her baby boy had died.

    This is as heartbreaking as it is beautifully written. You can feel the mother's sorrow, yet the angel brings some peace. This is so beautiful,

    A hug for you Lena, my dear friend, a hug that will never end. Until the day comes when your out of pain, in comforting you, my arms will never strain. I'd let you cry a million tears, I'd hold you close, keeping at bay your fears. This chaser of angels will always be a friend to you, as you've been to me.

    No Grito. This did not happen to us. I work in a hospital and see things like this. Thank you for caring.

    I love this poem; though sad it is life done in an awesome poem.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
