Another Angel Ascends to Heaven
I remember that night,
On that night was something I’ve never seen in my life,
It was on that night that everything we were once taught flashed in front of me in plain sight,
It was something so saddening I couldn’t believe my eyes,
I looked into the glaring red and blue flashing lights that lit up the night,
It was then I felt the tears of heaven fall from the sky,
I remember seeing the car flipped off the side of the street,
And in my darkest imagination I can only imagine the horror that lies beneath,
Until the body was covered by the paramedics with that white sheet,
The car reeked of alcohol and bottles lay broken on the ground,
But it was apparent of the tragic accident, when the crashing sound was heard all around,
The tears from heaven water the scene as the water rises from the ground.
I can only realize the body might be gone but the soul is still alive,
And even through the darkest moments, through their hands they catch all the tears we cry,
But until we meet again one more angel ascended into the heavens tonight.
