Some Angels
—for Howard McBroom
First appear as a softer light
That grows to move with a strong knowing.
As they extend study support,
Some angels sail for causes with their
Wings set on a unique navigation.
They fly above problems, suggest
Solutions, encourage, and point the way
By being an example that is humble care.
Some angels remember to be
Childlike in play and all fortitude
When they express what they need
To say.
As they soar into the horizon, their
Memory remains as a gentle imprint;
A hopeful reminder in the power of
Kindness, courage, determination,
Purpose, and most of all love.
