So difficult it is to lose a friend and
Then, in the blink of an eye, another
Angels about gather up the souls
Deliver them to the Maker
Angels return to be amongst us
Even though we are not aware
We are caught up in grief and
It is not clear why we had to
Have our dear ones taken
At times like these and
We feel forsaken, but
Still the angels
Suppress some emotion
Not getting in the way of
Our devotion. True believers
Do not flinch, but
Accept this part of life
For what it is
Mourning and grieving
But no interceding is
Changing our way
Angels keep our heartache at bay
We adjust and begin again as
Our hurt begins to pass
Our tempo returns to normal
Floundering has no place in
Lives seeking his grace
We have our part in life to play
Angels about, help us along the way
Playing a role in answered prayer
I wonder how many believe
Is this true of deceit?
Life soon becomes normal
We fall into a routine
No wavering or straying
We again are filled with love
We remember the ones
Who have gone ahead
Keep them alive in
Our mind, heart, and soul
Don’t think about angels or
Their important role
We just go on and on
Until the next one is called
The cycle of life
Again you recall
Our frailty and then
The words about angles
