Guardian Angel

A guardian angel appeared
Just to be heard
I have a message he stated
So he said it out loud for me to hear

You have always been there when I needed you most,
For now it is my turn to look after you
Forever yours, Ian

At last, tears streamed down

The lover I once had
Joined the Marines
Died fighting for his country
At the age of 20
Only to have lost his life

Before he left
He whispered in my ear
I am heading to Heaven if I do not return
Watching over you, with all my heart
Until we are reunited at the Gates of Paradise.
