In November of 2003, the girls still shared a room and in the mornings, I would notice things out of place. This is the poem that came to mind.
You think I can’t read, walk or talk
But you don’t see what happens in the dark
Soon after you are fast asleep
The angels come and away we leave
They touch my body and take my pain away
Then all night we go out and play
We fly in the dark with the light of His wings
Suddenly, I can do anything!
Ride a bike or jump or skip
High in the clouds, I do a flip
Laughing and dancing, giggles galore
I am in the presence of the Lord
With His light and I am free from disease
The world is mine to do what I please
Oh how I wish to share our secret with you
But this is not the time with so much left to do
He said you will learn through your smiles and tears
The world’s greatest joys and overcome fears
Morning is coming and I’m back in bed
Show me no pity, learn from me instead
So with my crooked smile and from the face I gleam
You see it too, Mommy,
Only you think it a dream!
