Angels

by Brenda   Nov 24, 2016


I know of angels
who walk amongst
the living,
who tend to the dying,
giving their all
to a total stranger in need,
during their
last moments of life...
They are there to
stroke a hand,
read a poem,
say a prayer...
They are the builders,
of the bridges,
that will take
our loved ones home.
Allowing them to pass
in peace and dignity
that all the dying
should be allowed to do...
I thank God
every day for giving us
these angels,
to be here amongst us living,
to help us say good-bye
to our dying...

    Nice tribute to the nurses and caregivers.
    Yes, they are the true angels and every word you wrote about them is also true.

This just has a peaceful and gentle feel to it as you read it. i really believe there are angels here on earth in the form of nurses and caregivers and volunteers working in hospice centers helping comfort the dying and their families. You seem like such a compassionate person this is the perfect poem for you to write. Very beautiful write Brenda

      Awww Thank you so much Mary! I really appreciate your kind words. I too believe there are angels. So many wonderful people out there who work so selflessly helping others, I hope I did some justice to their wonderful work.
