Angel in Passing

I will always remember

The last words she said

Sit down and hold my hand

I did and I kissed her head.

All I wanted was

For her to stay

To promise me that

She will live everyday.

But as she closed her eyes

Her body went stiff and cold

And I knew then that

I had lost her heart of gold

I know this world will suffer

As much as I

Because she has gone

To live above the beautiful sky.
