    Poem Commentary

    Well i wrote this poem as a tribute for my cousin Karen. Who was killed by a drunk driver in 2003. May she never be forgotten...

    Mourning an Angel


    An angel has gone up to heaven

    She wasn't ready to go but a devil took her life that night.

    She was so alive but then the next second she was gone

    The clouds opened up and welcomed the angel back to heaven

    In those quick five minutes Karen went from having a perfect life,

    Two perfect daughters, a perfect husband, a perfect family

    To meeting Jesus.

    No one knew that two days after Valentine's Day we would be

    Mourning an angel.

    A statue sits beneath a tree, a statue of an angel

    Her name is written on its polished rock

    We look at the face of the angel and see her face

    Words don't express what we feel but we do the best we can,

    “Karen, this mourning will never end,

    Everyday we sit down

    Mourning an angel.”


    * In memory of Karen Ann February 16,2003 *

    A wonderful tribute to your friend. Each time someone shares a poem, that person shares a piece of his/her soul. Thank you for sharing and reminding us that we just never know when we may lose someone that we love or we may become lost to them.

    What a wonderful tribute for such a tragic event. I'm sorry you and your family had to go through something like this, but that's life I guess. Good job, i like how the title is threaded through the poem. Good job, keep writing.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
