A poem that I self- published in 2007, about my papaw that died in 2007.





Angel

I thought I saw an angel
Today, flying my way, I
Thought I saw an angel
Today, to come and take
Me away.
She sat beside me on a log,
Telling me she wasn’t coming
For me at all, but that she was
Coming for my grandpaw.
Streaks of tears ran down my
Face, as I asked, please can
My grandpaw have just one
More day?
She smiled and said, “No, that
It was time for him to go.”
I asked her, “Why did you come
To me?”
She said, “In hopes I’d understand
And could see, that my grandpaw
Was being set free.”
I nodded my head, “Yes”, and thought
To myself, “I saw an angel today Coming
To take you away.”
