An Angel Flew To Heaven Today- For Marie
By DME
An Angel flew to heaven today
a smile on her face.
She gathered up her memories
now wrapped in silk and lace,
and hid them in a secret place
for this journey now through space,
where friendly hands reach out for her
in welcoming embrace.
An Angel flew to heaven today,
waving fond goodbyes.
So many friends and family,
once to her so very dear,
later not so very clear,
but now coming back to her
as she travels through the sky –
memories recalled again –
the who; the why;
the what; the when.
Tears of happiness escape
from awakened eyes.
An Angel flew to heaven today:
her world now returns.
What had been lost is now renewed,
jumbled thoughts now imbued
with strength again,
with clarity,
with faithful friends,
familiar things and family
recognized, re-organized:
a door ajar in forgotten room.
It opens now: she looks inside.
And what was old now is new,
crisp and fresh and pretty too.
All is well: her journey’s through.
And heaven’s doors now open wide:
an Angel’s here with brand new wings.
