I shared one of

Angie's last days

Life changing moment

In so many ways

Family is loving

And understanding

Angie knew what she wanted

Not too demanding

Burrito with bacon

Papas and the rest

Guacamole she whispered

Santana's the best

Fifty fifty bar smoothie

I'd like something sweet

Ice chips and water

Please rub my feet

Angie looked at Annie

And then looked at me

Whispered out loud

How blessed are we

Something we knew

We're reminded again

We're married to

Each other's best friend

At times we laughed

At times we cried

But always grateful

To be by her side

Time for laughter

And time to grieve

Then came the time

When I had to leave

She mouthed "I love you"

I'll see you in a while

Then Angie gave me

The biggest of smiles

That was our moment

I'll always think of

The kind that comes

From heaven above

Journey's end and beginning

Last and first mile

Sleep with the Angels

Wear an Angel's smile
