Angel of Red

by Mel   Jun 12, 2006


As she stands back and watches
Her life go up in flames
She remember the good times
Along with the pain

Of her romance, her heartbreak,
and the child she bore
The child engulfed
in the thunderous roar

She can hear him crying
if she closes her eyes
She looks up and screams
At the god of the skies.

Then an angel goes in,
All dressed in red
"I'll get your boy out"
Is all that he said

She prays and she hopes
that they come out alive
But when the flames grow
Her hopes take a dive

What if the don't make it?
She starts to cry
She'd have no reason to live
If her little boy died

She sits through the agony,
The pain, the unknown
Sits there and cries
Sits all alone

She makes herself think
Of what he last said
"I love you" he told her
Then he laid down in bed

Her tears hit the pavement
And quickly dry
Just like her life will
If her little boy dies

When all of a sudden
The red dressed angel appears
With a limp body in his arms
Her only hopes turn to fears

As a single tear fell
"I'm sorry," he said
The fireman handed her the body
Of her little boy, dead.
