EPILOGUE
After getting the babies settled in the nursery Angel went into the bedroom that he and Susy had shared for seemingly such a short time. As he often did when his wife was not with him, he went to the C.D. player to listen to their songs. Tonight sitting beside the player he found the toy lamb and Susy's three art pads, which he was sure she had taken with her in the mobile home, but nothing had been brought back into the hotel yet. The top pad was opened to the drawing she had made of the angel and the lamb, although the cross and the heart pendants had been added to the drawing. Turning the pad over he sat down on the bed and read the poem that he knew she did not have time to finish.
ANGEL AND THE LAMB
Centuries old,
The tale is told,
Of the Angel and the Lamb
Finding each other
Continual Lovers
It's only soul mates that can,
Find the love,
Brought from above
Time and time over again.
Hard to believe
Never to leave,
Constant and always the same
Evil in the way
A soul gone astray
For years they were torn apart
Not knowing why
Tears she did cry
An empty place left in her heart.
Primroses white
Grow where they might
Have come from a ghostly tear
The soul did return
But not to learn
How to love, but only to fear.
God from above
Missed how they loved
Insisted they must be one
The work of many
Angels a plenty
Couldn't rest until it was done.
The path was long
Attraction was wrong
They met under strange circumstance
They knew not why
Their feelings soared high
They were together it seemed only by chance
Puzzling clues
Clairvoyant views
Gradually showed the truth in the story
Originally ended
Finally mended
That brought the Angel and Lamb their glory
Planets aligned
Precessionally timed
To complete the life they began
Together a moment
Sealing commitment
Again the parting of a wife and her man
Half a world apart
Place of the start
Northumberland, the site to set the scene
Moment they parted
Immediately restarted
Though two hundred fifty years in-between.
But evil again
Entered the scene
But this time a chance to flee
Leaving no clue
Not only as two
For they now were a family
First came a daughter
A son came after
Not aware two babes would be born
But a body borrowed
Returned in sorrow
The Angel was left to mourn
A light far away
A place to stay
As God gave his blessing she did smile
Back to the land
From God's own hand
She would wait with the Angel for a while
Until the day
They'd walk away
Returning to God hand in hand
A time will come
As was begun
The tale of The Angel and The Lamb
