{amen}
it is true then that even angels have mortality,
to some degree,
alive with spines and eyes and oxygenized
but holy on the inside,
and though my faith has been tested
there was never any question, that i believed in you,

stay quiet, stay conscious, stay omniscient,
keep listening
and attentively watch over me,
lead me not into ambiguity,
you are the resilient one, the loving one,
emma warren, emma evans,
i know your halo fits.

and i can only ask that you show me the way,
that you forgive me for all of my wrongs,
as i try
with head high, heart strong, and mind set,
to lead a structured life, in your honor.

{emma}
i hope when you got there
to the gates,
to your father,
you were delivered as promised into the arms of your son,
and i hope that he held you and helped you to heal,
like mother, like son,

you were the patient one, the trusting one,
you were our saint, our shepard, our guardian,
boundless with love and strength like no other,

to be of your blood is a blessing,

as i bow at your eternal bedside,
somewhere you are now ascending; holy and angelic,
emma warren, emma evans,
the faithful one,
the precious one,
we are in debt to you, always, forever.
