Newest Angel Poem by Randy McClave

There is a sadness in my soul
But, the Lord, he will give me strength,
They say that Heaven is man’s ultimate goal
So short is our life, but long is our memories length.
There is no words to say, but only a heartache
As we understand that life is just a simple test,
God gives, but then God must also take
When we finish life's journey God then lets us rest.
The Lord has brought forth his newest angel
A person that none of us wanted to let go,
But, God has created his children strong and able
And someday we too must journey that path solo.
Who knows of God's ultimate plan
Is it meant for some people to live in pain or suffer,
But, some survive who know why, not mortal man
What doesn't weaken us makes the spirit tougher.
Tears are in the eyes when we must say goodbye
But the souls of loved ones are never lost or forgotten,
We all are born with joy, and with sadness when we die
Tears that we shed now shows no one is ever born misbegotten.
