A POEM IN REMEMBRANCE
ANGEL OUTSIDE MY WINDOW:
BY: DIANE CASSIDY
An Angel flew past my window
last night,
No, I’m sure it wasn’t a firefly.
Nor a star shooting across the dark sky,
And, surely, not
a misguided butterfly.
It was an Angel outside my window last night.
An Angel flew past my window
at dawn,
Dancing a delicate pirouette on the lawn
All the while singing her heavenly song,
For only a moment then
she was gone.
An Angel was outside my window at dawn.
An Angel flew past my window
today.
A creature so lovely I begged her to stay.
She smiled, spread her wings, and soared away,
Her brightness replaced
by a shroud of gray.
An Angel was outside my window today.
If an Angel flies past your window
tonight
So beautiful and thoughtful and radiating light.
Glory to God! For granting the sight
Of His Angel’s
brief visit on her divine flight.
If an Angel appears outside your window tonight
