John,
in his boat one grey autumn day
Bobbing
on the lakes black water
His
heart gripped by blackness
As
he sobbed for the loss of his daughter
His
blood ran cold through his veins
As
he stared at the dark water there
Water
that would welcome him
And
end a life filled with despair
John’s
life was as empty as his heart
Now
his dear little girl was gone
That
sweet yellow haired angel
Without
her he just couldn’t go on
Then
calmness came upon the water
And
he became suddenly aware
He
was no longer alone in his boat
As
he stared at the dark water there
The
boat no longer bobbed on the lake
As
he turned to look behind him
He
saw God sitting in the stern
And
on the shore stood two Seraphim
God
sat with smiling countenance
His
hair white as artic snow
His
soft eyes just radiated love
And
he emitted a warming glow
John
stood silent before his god
As
the boat drifted towards the shore
And
the black despair which gripped him
Left
his body through every pore
Then
Gods eyes looked toward the land
To
where his brace of angels stood
And
John was moved to do the same
And
in that instant, he understood
For
stood between the angels
Was
his sweet yellow haired girl
Her
broken body once more whole
And
a hallow sat above her curls
Though
the heavenly father never spoke
John
understood the meaning clear
His
darling child made Cherubim was safe
And
his time was not yet near
Then
singing the songs of paradise
The
Seraphim both ascended high
While
his darling girl waved to him
And
ascended herself into the sky
John
turned towards the stern
As
the boat bobbed on the lake again
But
saw only an empty space
The
king had returned to his domain
John,
in his boat that grey autumn day
Bobbing
on the lakes black water
Now
felt at peace with himself
Though
he still grieved for his darling daughter
The
waters were not so black any more
And
love displaced despair in his heart
Though
he would always miss his angel
He
knew they would not always be apart
