Forever Angel
By: Blaque Diamond
You are no longer here with me
But in my heart you will always be
My love for you will never change
Even though my memories are all that remain
The times we spent together
Will last in my thoughts forever
I miss you each and every day
But I know you are in a better place
Your memory will never die
Even as the months and years go by
It hurts sometimes when I think of you
Because I think of all the things we used to do
It brings tears to my eyes
And I have to question why
Did you have to leave so soon
When so many people were loving you
I know it’s god’s plan
But sometimes I just don’t understand
Why my heart aches so much
And I yearn for your gentle touch
You are now resting in peace
Your pain on earth has ceased
Gone but not forgotten you are
Because you will always live in my heart
Even though I wish you could’ve stayed
I would not have wanted your suffering delayed
So go now and embark on your new journey
As you enter the gates, oh so pearly
I trust that we will meet again
So we can continue where we left off when
God called home his oh so faithful
Heaven just welcomed a forever angel
