THE SHIFTING SAND Ever since you went away, last thing at night I lie and pray, And think of you somewhere afar And ask the angels how you are. The angels tell me you're ok, You dance and sing and love to play And do those things for all you're worth That, crippled, you missed out on earth. They tell me your new life is bliss The only thing your really miss, Where you so happy sat and played - The sandpit that your daddy made. So every night they bring you back When we're asleep and all is black And let you play there for a while. They love to see your lit-up smile. And so one night while others slept, Into the small back yard I crept, Kept silent vigil that I may Just once more see you there at play. But nothing happened, no-one came, Just disappointment, such a shame. I'd hope for just a little sign, But your world is apart from mine. Though something made me stand and stare And no, I didn't see you there. But how the angels understand...... They let me see the shifting sand! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
