An Angel's Wish
A baby,
so tiny and helpless,
the life the future.
Intricate toes and fingers,
eyes closed and blind to the world's horrors,
the cries of helplessness bundled in a blanket.
Warmth I can guarantee,
Love I can provide,
Dreams I can give freely,
Yet the world is to be discovered by You.
You who make our whole world revolve,
You who will endure,
You who will suffer.
A life without air is not a life at all,
when the systems of life begin to fail,
There is only one gesture I have to give.
A kiss to the brow.
Tears will fall,
as will sniffles and sobs,
but I will be there to comfort.
I will be there to hold your hand,
I will dream and live in the world of your reality,
while continuing with my own world.
A world of success and failures.
Good-bye my dearest,
I have prayed,
and it is time for you to go.
A kiss,
A tear,
Just once more.
Sleep dear one, sleep.
