I'll Cry with the Angels Poem, by Michael, at My poetic side

The angels had wept the day you had passed

Tears, unbearable, forever to last

Even to this day, remnants remain

On the faces of many, reflecting the pain

The anguish, unbearable, disheartening so

Saddened by loss that you had to go

Beyond comprehension, could not understand

Why you were taken, my love, from my hands

Yet, each time there is sunshine, rays shining down

I feel of your presence, I sense you around

I cannot explain this, the feeling, the rise

I can swear I can see you before my own eyes

In the presence of clouds as they take on a shape

In reflective blue waters or the ripples of lakes

In the flowers that grow to reach to the sky

In the bluebirds I watch that always soar by

I smell on each breeze a reminder of you

The cutting of grass after first morning’s dew

While springtime lilacs may die out and fall

I still smell the essence like a fragrant recall

Within these reminders I keep you with me

With hopes to one day be able to see

Until that day comes, I know you’re beside

So for now my dear loved one, with the angels I’ll cry

So sad! But, it sounds like the memory is still very much alive within you! Heartfelt confession! Nicely done!

A beautiful tribute
To have this level of feeling is a gift
Though the loss is tragic
The emotions are magical
The first line of last verse is tremendous and the rest matches it
Sensational writing
