Circle of Angels.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The chance was offered to enter the light.
A circle of angels had showed up in might,
purity spilling from their feathers so slight.
The darkness was late and angry as we flew.
A second chance would have risked a taste of heavens dew.
Though my soul shattered heart had left thee behind.
I knew deep down that to you God would be kind.
Then the earth read its last paragraph of fate, and you joined me once more at the sweet golden gate.
