My Angel Lives

by Paul Gondwe   Jan 10, 2012


With paper in hand,
i froze and traveled through time,
reminiscing on every bit of happiness of her
i could find in my mind

I tried to remain strong,
convincing my mind i was a man
while fighting,
trying to hold back the urge to cry

My imagination portrays
a clear picture of my Angel,
whose presence i feel,
whose life has been cut short

I envision her with translucent wings,
a halo on her head,
bright and shiny,
watching me from above

She will never grow old anymore,
nor witness the fruits of her labor,
or understand her purpose on this earth

She leaves questions un-answered
but one thing i know
is that she suffers no more

Dedicated to anybody who lost somebody...

    There's no time to be happier here. Within Death, there is no problem.

    I believe the fruits of her labor may not have been composed in her earthy life, but that she is enveloped in the joys of her labors in heaven.
    Great poem.

    Hmm wow
    idk what to say this poem is really gr8
    i can relate to it

    "With paper in hand,
    i froze and traveled through time,

    good start, i like the image in the 2nd line really gr8 like u could go to past or future,love it

    "I tried to remain strong,

    wow this is so emotional part,have gr8 imagery in it , trying to make your self strong
    while your cries want to go out but u still fight them
    and you image your Angel,feel the presence
    and remember that her life been cut short
    totally amazing part

    "I envision her with translucent wings,
    a halo on her head,
    bright and shiny,
    watching me from above

    She will never grow old anymore,
    nor witness the fruits of her labor,
    or understand her purpose on this earth"

    the description u gave was fitting in words and everything wings and halo ,shiny and bright watching you from above wow that is amazing

    and here still the sad emotion as strong as it is in all the poem that she wont gain what she planted or know why she existed
    well i have other idea at that point cause, i believe when die when our purpose here is done, good few lines

    "She leaves questions un-answered
    but one thing i know
    is that she suffers no more"

    well i suggest that u put not answered instead of
    un-answered would be better

    gr8 ending leaving me speechless
    here i think u kinda let go of the sad spirit
    while u think that she is is a better place than the one u are in

    overall gr8 write really enjoyed 5/5 keep writing =)
