Analysis of Birth of an Angel



Death of ones child is a hard loss to take,
Trying hard to smile, all know that is fake.
But in your time of grieving,
Take time to rejoice…
there’s been a birth of an Angel..:
Listen close there’s their voice.
No sickness, no sorrow
No pain and no fear.
Only when in laughter they may shed a tear.
So in time of grieving so often alone
Rejoice for the Angel, in Heaven their new home.
Birth of an Angel
