Gabby

The angels came
from heaven
to wrap Gabby
in their arms
They knew of
Gabby's struggles;
her hills too
hard to climb.
They lifted her to
mountain tops, that she
had never seen
Gabby looked down
upon her loved ones,
whom she didn't
want to leave.
A tear fell
from her eye,
but there was
a smile upon
her face,
for God opened
up his arms
as Gabrielle fell
in his embrace.

Very sweet and sincere

Very sweet and sincere Janice, I love tribute work. Always so heart felt from you, and it has been so long since I have caught a one of your poems, luck me. I almost felt that the break was unnessesary. It flowed so well. But It shall give me pause to think and be gratful for my 3 girls and the rest of my blessed life. Julie D.D.
