Blessed Angel

Blessed Angel

Blessed Angel, weep for me not.

My choices, my life, and my downfall

are mine alone, set forth by mine own hand.

Heavenly Angel, sing for me not.

For I am undeserving of such praise as yours

Spread your glorious voice across the world,

and sing not for me alone.

Beloved Angel, feel not love, nor pity for me

for I stood in the sun and faced my truth

of that that I am and that that I was.

I am not worthy of your consideration.

I am beyond your touch.

My Dearest Angel, mourn for me not,

for upon my leaving I take with me but

one image impressed upon my heart,

that of one single glistening tear,

that you shed for me

and purified my soul.

Be not without the world, Angel,

Sing, live and laugh, and find happiness.

For Lillie May
