The Lesson

                             

                               

                     The Lesson

An angel found herself on earth ….

with a fractured pair of wings

Uncertain of her purpose, here…

among such calloused beings

So absorbing all their anguish….

she sought to share their pain

And pledged to help them heal their wounds ….

to give them hope again

Inspired, she loved unconditionally,

all who crossed her path each day

With sincerity she tried to help...

but most turned her away

Though she strives to make a difference,

the days stretched into years

And the long and grueling journey

had driven her to tears

The time she’d spent on earth, it seemed,

had been to no avail

Her presence hadn't changed a thing, h

her love had surely failed

“My Lord, they did not know I cared,

or what I sought to do….”

“My child”, he said, “do not despair….

the children always knew.”

The angel smiled, returning home;

her time on earth was done

But you, my friend, are the angel now …

and your journey’s just begun

So on those days when gloom creeps in

and your heart is feeling low

Keep in mind the lesson all angels should learn…..

The children always know…..

Written for and dedicated to my dear friend and teacher....

          May you forget how wonderful you are................
