a familiar Lullaby
.
.
I awoke again to singing
A familiar lullaby
A voice so beautiful
It would make angels cry
.
I sat up in my bed
To gaze upon the sight
My wife and darling daughter
Glowing by candlelight
.
Her eyes were forever on
The angel that silently lay
Held lovingly in her arms
As she so slightly swayed
.
As always, the lullaby ended
She kissed our daughter's cheek
Looked at me and smiled
"Our angel is finally asleep"
.
We sat silently for a moment
Until she said, "We have to go"
I nodded, forced a smile
Said, "I love you both so"
.
And as they slowly faded
Tears filled my eyes
Why must I go on living?
After both my angels died
.
I feel like ending it all
Every now and then
But I keep going, for the next time
My angels visit me again
