BECAUSE THE ANGELS CAME
No more grief and sorrow.
No more suffering and pain.
Now theres everlasting peace, because the Angels came.
When the sun rises tomorrow and I answer not my name.
Please dont cxy- Rejoice with me, because the Angels came.
I now can rest in peace, as I never could before.
I answered the gentle knock of Angels at my door.
So please dont mourn for me, as new wings I now claim,
I can take flight to heaven because the Angels came.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend can say.
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us today.
Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much
whatever the part.
The family of the late Marva Robinson
