Angel and Darling

Through the laughter and the tears,

we made it a fantastic 30 years.

God brought us together

for one specific purpose.

And at times it was like a three ring circus,

But the goal was for Doug's eternal life forever.

Unbeknownst to me,

I was the one to make it be.

It was my honor to be chosen,

To lead God's son to his mansion.

As God prepares Doug for his flight,

I am witness to God's amazing light

of transformation and recreation

As Doug nears his destination.

Patiently I will wait,

Until I see my "Darling" and he

sees his "Angel."
