Poetry
John, in his boat one grey autumn day
Bobbing on the lakes black water
His heart gripped by blackness
As he sobbed for the loss of his daughter
His blood ran cold through his veins
As he stared at the dark water there
Water that would welcome him
And end a life filled with despair
John’s life was as empty as his heart
Now his dear little girl was gone
That sweet yellow haired angel
Without her he just couldn’t go on
Then calmness came upon the water
And he became suddenly aware
He was no longer alone in his boat
As he stared at the dark water there
The boat no longer bobbed on the lake
As he turned to look behind him
He saw God sitting in the stern
And on the shore stood two Seraphim
God sat with smiling countenance
His hair white as artic snow
His soft eyes just radiated love
And he emitted a warming glow
John stood silent before his god
As the boat drifted towards the shore
And the black despair which gripped him
Left his body through every pore
Then Gods eyes looked toward the land
To where his brace of angels stood
And John was moved to do the same
And in that instant he understood
For stood between the angels
Was his sweet yellow haired girl
Her broken body once more whole
And a hallow sat above her curls
Though the heavenly father never spoke
John understood the meaning clear
His darling child made Cherubim was safe
And his time was not yet near
Then singing the songs of paradise
The Seraphim both ascended high
While his darling girl waved to him
And ascended herself into the sky
John turned towards the stern
As the boat bobbed on the lake again
But saw only an empty space
The king had returned to his domain
John, in his boat that grey autumn day
Bobbing on the lakes black water
Now felt at peace with himself
Though he still grieved for his darling daughter
The waters were not so black any more
And love displaced despair in his heart
Though he would always miss his angel
He knew they would not always be apart
