God Bestowed on Me an Angel

God bestowed on me an Angel I assumed it was for keeps Nine months to love and nurture My Angel while he sleeps. Shielding him from danger I locked him in my womb Shared with him some secrets Imagined how he’d bloom. My joy soon turned to sorrow The night the Shadow came I had to hand my angel back To Heaven once again. Did I fail him as a keeper? Mistreat him with my love? Found guilty without trial By the Jury up above. Your tiny heart upon a screen No longer was it beating You left before I said ‘Goodbye’ There was no final meeting. Wish I’d held you in my arms And tears still come in plenty Sleep my baby, rest in peace Until they come to get me. In Loving memory of Naylor Jo, Love mummy xxxxxx
