My Angel Poem by Chantelle Clark

The air was warm and soft.
The wind billowed through the trees.
The leaves were lifted aloft.
As the water mirrored the breeze.

Calm and smooth like glass
the water glinted bright.
Another world beaneath us passed.
Unnoticed with no plight.

My life as a child was great.
It was like that submerged world.
Untill that fateful date.
When the evil unfurled.

I walked upon the clouds high.
Untill December 23rd/04.
And now, I might have to say goodbye.
For death knocks upon the door.

Darkness enveloped my life.
And I began to walk on water.
I had to get away from the grief and strife.
For death was making barters.

Everyone must leave one day
But this was different for me.
She was my golden rays
That lighted upon the sea.

Liver disease attacked her
and yet this illness was rare.
More and more woman were
accepting it, yet I could not bare.

I would convince myself each time
That my mother was an angel from above.
She was to go to heaven, for she was kind.
And that her gentle words were filled with love.

When father told me on that dark day.
I sunk with agonized sorrow.
Time would surely take her away.
I pray it is not tomorrow.
