Angel Amie Poem by Edwin Baldwin

My angel came to me DOA
she had been the victim of a devastating wreck.
Her angelic face was pale in color
and her eyes were a beautiful blue.
I applied every ounce of energy within me to resuscitate her.
Shouting at times 'come on don't you quit on me! '
I was such a little fish in a big pond and still green behind the gills.
Everyone I trusted to assist me committed mutiny.
To much effort to save a life or to involved with their own agendas.

I was granted a miracle a true blessing she started coming around.
I was never happier never so relieved but still unsure of what would come next.
I stood there beside her trembling with fear my mind was mush and I was exhausted.
I just wanted to hug her and say everything is going to be okay.
Believing like a child that if I wished on it then it would come true.
She was scared and in pain.
I told her don't be afraid I'm here to help.
She trusted me and reached out for my hand.
I held her for as long as I could only turning away for something to comfort her with.
Before I got the chance to place it on her she was gone.
I cried tears that I never would have believed existed in me.
I can't forget her face or those eyes in such need of me.
In all of my years she was the first and only one.

She is gone now but she'll live on forever. It's like she became a part of me.
Keeping me strong in my faith and I'm better because of her.
God brought her to me that day. He planned she'd find her way to me.
I never gave up on her when others tossed in the towel.
Because of that experience I'll remember her till the day I die.
I hope and pray I get to see her in heaven so that I can thank her
for having shown me the way.
