Departure of an Angel

A drizzle of bad can test character

But a monsoon of bad can reveal to the world

That a lifetime doesn't deserve an angel.

Communities smothered in grays

Can have that spark that provides color

And the spark's weakness

Can be the strength fueling

The amazing perspectives he accesses.

Unfortunately, some folks don't deserve nice things.

And when they make an angel forget

That he has so much to offer,

Then he has to be sent off

To a lifetime who deserves his gifts.

Those who cared about him,

Who had loved him throughout his journey,

Might wish his stay could be longer,

But know a life with mistreatment

Can never be a Garden of Eden.

We will miss you, Adam.

You are loved
