Homeward Angel (For Allen in Memory of Leah)

by Jill Eisnaugle — Read all 611 poems by Jill Eisnaugle

I wrote this poem for Allen in Leah's memory, prior to when I evacuated for Hurrricane Ike. For obvious reasons, given the evacuation and subsequent damage that our home sustained, I'm just now finding a moment to post the poem, so I hope Allen accepts my very late condolences. Leah will certainly be missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

Poem Artwork

 

 
An angel has flown homeward
Above the sand and sea
Far from the bitter shadows
Of loss and agony
No longer does she suffer
No more is time a thief
She walks beside Our Father
In peace, beyond belief.
 
An angel has flown homeward
Toward gleaming skies of blue
Her heart is filled with courage
More than she ever knew
Her battle is now finished
And though, her loved ones’ mourn
There lies a sense of comfort
With God, she is reborn.
 
An angel has flown homeward
Earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain
The memories are precious
Brilliance, amid the pain
Her legacy continues
In the lives she has blessed
Her love always remaining
In those who knew her best.

This poem is lovelier because it's written from your heart...and with love for others..ie; Allen. She was an angel here, and we know she's definitely an angel with her Father in Heaven.. If Allen can just close his eyes for a moment..and picture how much lovlier Heaven is with Leah in it....he'll understand that she is simply making things ready for him...but not for a long time to come...she wants him to be happy...because he made her so happy when she was here... :-)) wonderful poem, wonderful tribute... from a loving heart. lindalaw

Beautiful, a loss is a terrible feeling and nothing can deal with it as time. Allen will need the time and when he needs friends it is important for him to know they are there. You dear are a wonderful friend. I am glad to know you are safe Jill.

Newfie hugs, Rose

What Allen needs is not to be or feel alone, you have done both things, didn't let he to be or feel alone, the rest of us shoul be the multitude surrounding and supporting is soul.
The grieving should be left alone, love and tears are so private...

You are so kind to share this with us and for J. Allen's sake. It is going to be uplifting for him to read this and keep her in his mind always as his most precious little darling angel. I loved this write and cannot say enough about it. Memories of Leah will be long lasting in my heart too, as I feel I have known her personally from all J. Allen has wrote about her. More power to you and to J. Allen, the fight is on for grieving and will be won.

Jill....how does one say thank you when thank you never seems to say enough? This is so very beautiful and touches my heart deeply. As I long to see her face in my dreams; I long to hold her in my memory forever and a day. This is so sweet...thank you for your prayers; support and Christ like love.

To those who say "Get over it": you NEVER get over it. It's been eighteen and a half years since our mom passed, and only three and a half months since daddy passed; and we miss them both terribly! Beautiful, caring, compassionate write from a hurting soul; when you need support, prayer, help, here you are showing Christ-like love in your actions, and you are to be commended for it! Very beautiful write; brava, (((Dear Heart)))!

(((HUGS))), much love, and continued prayers~

As always, your friend in Burleson, Karen Lynn. :)

Jill,

In the midst of your pain, your losses, you care enough to reach out a loving, compassionate tribute to one of our own, who's hurting. Absolutely beautiful. I'm sure he will have no trouble accepting your condolences. He is loved, and it shows through his friends, here. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
