We prayed you would heal
That was not God's will
so He sent your angels
to end your being ill
Though tears are falling,
we know you were blest
That your angels came
to finally give you rest
You knew they were there
and said it's time to go
be with God in heaven
but we still miss you so
Author notes
dedicated to Daddy. My dad told my mom his angels were there to take him home and died a short time later. He had been ill for 17 years.
For all of those who keep saying blest is not a word:
Definitions of blest:
adjective: highly favored or fortunate (as e.g. by divine grace)

Your writing is so sweet and tender lass.
Your piece on you main page about your mum made these old Irish eyes weep.
As well this did about your dad.
One day we will all understand.
When you write something this grand,
you often entertain Angels,
Unaware.
This was simply touching
and absolutly beautiful
my sweet child.
If I knew
the way
I would take
you home,

This really touches me. When you watch someone so ill for so long it is horrible to feel. What a lovely poem you've done here and so well written.
-
The lack of punctuation is distracting from the read. Each line just blends together making his a kind of run on sentence. Other than that the message within is wonderful.
Thank you for entering.
Best of luck to you!
Blessings

beautiful work here, sorry about your loss
-
nice.
My condolences for your loss but he is in a better place. Very beautiful piece that describes the events and emotions of a sad time. Good luck in my contest. -
... I'm sorry for what happened there, but sometimes I think I should be thankful for the inspiration people obtains from that kind of successes, or in other words, your poem was great.
-
Sometimes that is the best thng for God to take someone to allow them to stop hurting. Just always remember, they aren't in pain anymore and they will be waiting for you by the pearly gates when yourr tiime comes.
-
I think you meant blessed instead of blest. just a note.
AWESOME poem though. really powerful. Sorry about your dad at least he is at peace now.

Sorry to hear about your loss and at such a young age. I was devastated at 36 so I'm sure this was awful. Thanks for commenting.

this is sad.im sorry for your loss.thats terrible,17 years.i like this its simple and sweet. you spelled blest wrong it blessed,i think.keep writing its like taking a vicodin,for me at least.it eases my pain if only for a moment
-
I'm sorry
I adore your penning. I lost my dad when I was fresh out of high school, and still devastated. And, about the angels, I worked at a hospital where my creative writing teacher was a patient dying of cancer. He was very religious. He told his wife that morning, that the angels had been there, and were coming back soon. He died within the hour, with a heavenly smile on his face. So, your story is sooooo true. GOD BLESS
