Fallen Angel

I read the words
And could feel your pain
My message seemed empty
Can't explain

Your gift was gone
That you wanted, you know
Could see it in your face
When you told me so

How you waited, waited
And waited some more
Through tests and trials
Every way to explore

A chance for this miracle
Through luck or science
The wait for fate's hand
To bring an alliance

I hope that all that remains
Is not shadows and dreams
What might have become
And all those might have beens

I hope what will linger
Once the terrible thing's past
Is something, forever
A memory that will last

Of your fallen angel
What ever it might be
Staying close to your heart
Eternally

I pray that you'll remember
The happier times
Smiles and the laughter
Often, or sometimes

I know you won't forget
All the things you had planned
For your fallen angel
I'm sure they'll understand



For SY, with love
