A Letter To My Angel


A Letter to my Angel
by
Sannel Larson


Waiting for night
to turn into day
listen to the rain
that's here to stay.

Never ending raindrops
leave behind its trails
of tears that intertwine 
with despair and fears.

Oh, please forgive me 
for what I'm about to do
but I long so to sleep
dreaming sweet dreams too.


Days long forgotten
without the throbbing pain
happiness and joy
I'll never feel again.


Deep in my aching heart
I know this is wrong
to overcome my sadness
I tried for so very long.


Please try to understand
there was much to live for
so much yet for me to do.
Life I used to truly adore.


Hopes for a painless
and new tomorrow
has been replaced
by apathy and sorrow.


You have helped me
to keep my spirit up high
as long as you could
but now, I say good-bye.


I'm sorry to fail you this way
please try to understand
but God is telling me it's time
with a smile I take his hand.

Don't weep for me
then I shall weep too.
Leaving this place
will be a relief, it's true.


The pain in my throbbing hands
makes it difficult to go on
but I have to finish this letter
before you wake up, I must be gone.


You have been my savior 
my angel so sweet and dear.
but it's time for me to find peace
so I sign this letter with a tear.


Walking through heaven's gate
with a bright smile on my face
an eternity of no more pain
with joy and bliss I embrace.


Perhaps you'll find me weak
leaving in this cowardly way
but if you were awake
you would have made me stay.


In heaven far above
I'll once again start anew
no more tears will fall
I 'll be happy and so will you.


When you awake from your slumber
we shall meet each other once again
but this time, I too, shall be an angel
there will be no more tears nor pain.


My sweet beautiful angel
heavens door I now go through
with a smile, I'll wake you up
now I know angels they sleep too.
