Angel’s Call
(Sympathy Funeral Poems)
An Angel in
a robe of white -
Came to me as
I slept last night.
She smiled and whispered
in my ear -
‘It’s time for you
to come, my dear.’
‘Though time was short
since you were born -
You’ve earned the crown
without the thorns.
God knows the sweetness
of your soul -
Your spirit and heart
are pure and whole.’
I asked if I
could say goodbye -
To Mom and Dad
who were nearby.
The Angel smiled
and said with a nod -
‘I’m sure that will
be okay with God.’
Did you feel
my kiss goodbye -
And the tears that
fell from my eyes?
Have trust in God
though I must go -
Just like me
He loves you so.
He will comfort
and hold your hand -
And help you so
you’ll understand.
And when your Heavenly
call comes too -
With outstretched arms
I’ll come to you.
- Ron Tranmer
