One day the daughter of a nurse
asked a question that made her mom curse.
"Can't you help her, the woman in that room
she looks so young but the doctor said she'll be dead soon"
She looked at her daughter and started to cry
"What's wrong mommy? Didn't you try?"
"I tried dear, but she got too sick too fast
the point that I can help her has long past"
The sick patient is a family friend
It is devastating that her life is drawing to an end
Disease... Cancer... they are awful things
Her name in Heaven, angels sing
One of those angels she will soon be
She's an angel here too and we all can see
For us all she's done a lot
Her time on Earth will not be forgot
I'll pray, she'll pray, and you'll pray too
Even though we know there's nothing anyone can do
"God we know angels belong above
Especially this certain one we will always love"
Dedicated to the late Edith Tucker, July 31, 1956-November 27, 2001
It was written while Edith was in the hospital, before she passed away.
