Like An Angel

Our last zoom call
The nurse showed me
You slipping in and out uneasily
You seemed alright
Two days ago

They propped you up
On your belly
On life support struggling to breathe
It does not choose
But it took you

Bitter cold has become isolation
Through glass you took your last exhalation

Find the oceans
Of Paradise
As a hero
Now you rise
Like an angel
On wings you soar
Now I know that you're free and I cry no more

The world locked down
So suddenly
But you went on so very essentially
On the frontline
With our applause

Bitter cold are these measures restricting
How do we say goodbye while distancing?

Find the oceans
Of Paradise
As a hero
Now you rise
Like an angel
On wings you soar
Now I know that you're free and I cry no more
