Angel's Lullaby

" Angel's Lullaby "

When your life hits a bump
And you don't know what to do
Always keep your faith up high
And know I have faith in you

You're always in my prayers
I keep you close at heart
And forever in my thoughts
It's not your turn to part

You have an angel on your side
She sits so quiet and still
Perched upon your bedside
As you fight for the power and will

We know the road is slow
And we know it will be hard
Luck and faith is all you need
To hold that special card

We pray to the heavens above
Come back to us please
Put our minds to rest
And let our hearts feel ease

You know your needed now
As your angel sits and sighs
This is what it sounds like
With the Angel's Lullaby

    Strong powerful and emotional! Such a wonderful touching poem written from deep within the heart. I hope your father is doing better. Again this is really a lovely emotional write, such beauty within your words.

    Good

    To be completely honest, while the rhyming was very nice, and the poem itself was very smooth and formed well at the end - the bigger picture of this, the moral, the meaning, is overdone many many times. I understand if it's important to you, but it does indeed seem very redundant to me, and prevents me from really liking the poem in its entirety.

    very good

    You know your needed now
    As your angel sits and sighs

    With the Angel's Lullaby

    wow, this is wonderful, the sweetness,
    tenderness with which this is written.
    and the very image of an angel sighing
    is truly beautiful.
    I am sorry for your father, I will keep
    you and your family in my thoughts and
    prayers.

    very beautiful poem, i loved it! the rhyming its very nice, not forced, and the flow of it is very smooth as well. I love poems of hope, i guess because im somewhat a negative person, and i myself cant really write hopeful poems. keep the ink flowing!

    The point of this poem comes across very well and I dont care if the rhyme is slightly off or whatever the fact that you have written it for your father is so touching. I do not have a great relationship with mine and therefore feel that you are so lucky to have one you care so much about which is obvious fro this poem Well done and I hope things improve for you and your family very soon. Love Claire

    You know, it's not about rhyme or rhythm. Personally, to hell with someone that OCD about it. It's about the expression and the thought you put into it with your emotions. Therefore, you have done well with it. It's something right now that would be perfect to say to a very close and special friend of mine right now, letting them know everything will be alright. Very well writ, mate!

    The rhyme was off (especially in some places), but the poem was good. It is interesting to see how you have done. I do suggest going through the rhyming and correcting it a little...it just could add so much to a poem like this, to have good rhyming
