In Memory Of

This is a memorial box I made for a friend in a group of mine.  This is her niece.  

She passed away in a car accident.  I also 

made up the poem to go with it.  

It reads:

Angelica’s poem

Sunday, April 22^nd 2012

The angels called from heaven

And said they needed you today

They whisked you from the earth

So very quickly that Sunday

They said that you had done

 All that you could do

That your time on earth

Was sadly all through

You didn’t understand

“How could they

 Take you away?

From your family, your friends

 And your children that day?

They were not even grown

No one could take your place

And love them as their own

To kiss their little face”

But the angels simply said

That the love for them was plenty

They have all had so many years with you

More years than twenty

“I haven’t seen them go to prom

Or even kiss another

That is my job here on the earth

To be the best mother”

Do not worry my angel,

They said

You will watch from the heavens,

 Their future ahead

Your family and friends

With smother them with love

And tell them of you

And the heavens above

They will tell of the stories

Of your time here on earth

Of the joy that you gave them

Upon both their births

They will wake every morning

Aware of your love

Of kisses from heaven

From here up above

Do not weep for your children

Or the time you will miss

Just know that all love you

And you will be missed
