Angel Song

Angel Song

She wakes each day to sorrow

A downpour in her soul

This tragic angel living

With a rising gaping hole

A tsunami unexpected

Broke her life in two

Father, Sister washed away

There was nothing she could do

Now the morning comes

And she is just alive

A stale soul

Only trying to survive

The tastless air

The lifeless breath

Alive but living

In her own personal death

But she wakes

And dresses

She turns on the light

She goes on

She goes on living

Even though she lives in night

Slowly the clock...

tick

tocks

tick

tocks

tick

tocks...

The night away

And from the numbing sorrow

She sees a crack of light

Just a bit of day

The strength of rising

Of just going on

Increases to living

And living becomes a song

Now she is more

Then a broken angel

And a torn soul

In her the light of God is dawning

She is rising from the dead

She is hope revealed

For the living dead

They know when they see her

That they can go on

They see it in her compassionate eyes

They hear it in her life...

Her life is her song
