Angel in the Sky

Your smile always drove me crazy

And the waves of you black hair

Those bright eyes shone upon me

With you, my life I wanted to share

Our lives did come together

As you became my constant companion

The stars shone bright in the blue sky

Celebrating the magic of our union

Life couldn't get any better

As you held my hand and walked with me

I had been cynical about my journey

Through your eyes, its beauty I could see

Happiness was only a word

Until you stepped into my life

The myth then turned to reality

The day you became my wife

That was the last day you saw

Your heart refused to beat at night

You lay still in my parched arms

Sculpting in my mind that sight

Everything I loved was taken away

You had taught me how to live

I chose not to dwell in negativity

I now knew to accept and forgive

I promise I shall stay strong

But replace you I never will

Your eyes, your smile and your touch

Is fresh in my heart and mind still

I shall live my life for you

Will become what you wanted me to be

No emotion shall tie me down now

Enveloped by your love, I feel free

I see your wings up there everyday

I know you have learnt to fly

Always close and never far

You are now my angel in the sky
