"Madame, your mother sends a telegram.

Please return home to her at once!"

 

Those were the words that changed my life forever.

As I packed my bags and quickly left my house,

I could see the tears in the messenger's eyes.

 

He took my hand and lead me to my parents' house,

which was about four miles away from where I was staying.

I walked in to find my father's spirit rising,

as dozens of angels carried his soul to Heaven.

I broke down and cried and yet, my heart was overjoyed.

 

I knew that he would be safe and sound,

and that his spirit would live on in another enchanted world.

I ran up to my mother and gave her a big hug.

We both stood there and said a prayer for him,

that he would continue to watch over us from up above.

    A sad and beautifully moving take on the image. A bad dream, with comfort found along the hem to soothe. If this is indeed a true tale, I am deeply sorry for your loss... Thank you for your entry & Best wishes in the contest!
