Guardian Angel (Poem)

I said to God -
You took away our
Guardian angel
Who healed us with
His kindness, his smile,
His warmth, his love
And sometimes
A medicine or two
 
God said - your angel lives on
In each of his loved ones
In the kindness they show
In the values they live by
In the love that binds them
In their pursuit of excellence
He lives on in the memories
He created with you
In the lives he touched
And the lives he saved
 
I asked God
Why did you give him
So much suffering
What kind of God
Gives so much pain
To a soul so pure
And a heart so gentle
 
God said
Life in mortal form
Is full of suffering
But the soul is free
Your angel suffered
To be with you
So that you could
See his love
And not just feel it
Because he loved you
 Far too much
 
I asked God
How are we supposed
To carry on
Without him
Without our angel
Watching over us
Without his love
Without his words
 
God said - He is still
With you, all around you
Watching over you
Caring for you
Every step of the way
Just close your eyes
And you will hear him
And see him
And feel him, as he
Guides you from
His seat in heaven...
