I Felt An Angel (Poem)

Coping with bereavement
1

I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me

I felt an angel’s kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak

I felt an angel’s loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart

I felt an angel’s tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine

I felt an angel’s silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above

I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.

I wish you’d stop making me cry! Seriously, your poems are so beautiful, too much so, sometimes, and sum up how I feel. I suspect many others feel that way too.
Thank you. I hope the poems help you to cope too.

Thank you AnnR, glad you like them, but sorry if they upset you.
They have me in tears no matter how many times I read them, but in some ways they are of comfort. I will keep them all in the memory box I have, and hope that one day I can read them wihtout crying (will that ever be possible?)
I’ve never really been into poetry, but since Alan died that’s all I do, look for comforting words and words that express how I’m feeling.

Don’t worry about them upsetting me. At least it’s a nice upset. X
