An Angel Flew Away by Rebecca J Burns Friday, August 11, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan Photo by D. Sharon Pruitt The loss of a child is a forever wound

Dedicated to my step-daughter, only 22, died suddenly of a heart attack Sunday, August 14, just 15 days from her 23rd b-day. She will be deeply missed. Angel flew away Off with her new wings She flies above broken hearts and dreams She flies away from all her pain and fear To a safer place somewhere far from here All I ask of her as she spreads her wings to fly Is to know that for those who remain It mattered that an Angel flew away Leah L ... is for the Love she gave us E ... is for the Everything she was A ... is for the Abscense we will feel now and H ... is for the heart where she'll remain I loved you Leah as if you were my own, you will always remain in my heart.

Oh dear Rebecca I can relate....my heart bleeds for you!! Thanks for sharing this outstanding tribute dear one!! This was my poem 20 years later!! Love Tinka "After Twenty Years" I am not sad today Just somewhere In utter gray space I just feel light headed Spaced out My body has no substance Within this gray fog That allows no vision I do not want to look back Or ever feel this pain again Because on the 24th day of May The biggest pain ever came my way My little girl did die on this day She did not see the sun go down But received her angel wings By the side of God To prepare a place For those still to come Copyright © 2005 Tinka Boukes

Oh gosh Rebecca ... I am so sorry for this loss of a loved one. The acrostic is heartrending, and the poem grips the heart in one of the worst things parents can ever face. I can relate to this somewhat. I have a stepson who is in complete renal failure and on dialysis three times a week. He is 21 years old. I pray for the peace that passes understanding for you and your loved ones. Blessings to you ... Richard Lloyd Cederberg
