I really like this. The first time I read it I wasn't sure as it seemd to hold really conflicting ideas, but after rereading it a couple of times I changed my mind, it seems now that the conflicting ideas are what makes it so poignant. However I don't view it as a hopeful poem...sorry...but it seems to me to say that the angels are there crying with us, so we are not alone but that hurt still prevails. A beautiful mesage nonetheless.
