Saints Amongnst Us Poem by Nick Kler

Some people and their souls
Are just so fragile and pure
They were never meant
For a sultry world like this

God made a huge blunder
Every time you come across
A person buried so deep
Under their own depredation

Lord, when he realizes
of this flaw
quietly tries to whisk them away
Thinking, nobody would find out
Nobody would know

Their presence has been so intense
Their Love, their selflessness
It Had already carved a place
Deep within the hearts
Of those that he touched
And those he embraced
Sharing with them everything
His sweet nothings
To this whole universe

Now that they are felt no more
Those that were forever touched
Would have to live with this emptiness
From here till eternity
