An Angel Gone Home
January 1, 1997
By Rose Marie Rideout


Always a smile, a kind word to share,
Giving her all, hiding each tear.
Filled with pain from head to toe,
Never complaining, no one would know.
Always an Angel, Loved by one and all,
Left us for home, As she heard God’s call.
She’s happy and smiling, never to be alone,
We’ll miss her but she’s another Angel gone h

I thought it was a dream, I tried to wake,
I cried another tear, I felt my heart break.
It was her time, as she was ready to go,
She suffered too much, from her head to her toe.
 I know you are looking, from up above,
You taught us to fill each other’s heart with love.
You said don’t get angry, we’re all we have,
You said be there for each other, don't be sad

But as you watched from heaven above,
You saw hurt being passed by all who shared love.
It’s okay dear  darling, you are now at rest,
You’ve suffered through life, you’ve  passed the test.
God almighty led you and carried you dear,
To the top of the stairs, where you’d walk without fear.
You are happy and smiling, don’t worry about anyone,
We’ll miss you dear  Darling, another Angel gone home.
