The Wings of an Angel

Angel Wings

by Paulette Fulks

Sometimes at night,
when I get scared and can't sleep.
I close my eyes and I try to think.
I think of how much we have done,
and then I think of all the fun.

Swinging under the tree
or whittling a stick with me.
It did'nt matter what we did,
because I was only a kid.

Now I close my eyes
and I think of you and want to cry.
Sometimes it makes me blue,
because the Angels up in Heaven have you.
and this I know ...Is True.

Sometimes at night,
I feel a breeze of wind.
I do not get scared,
because I know it is my Paw-Paw again.

He comes down from Heaven
to say a special Goodnight,
and when I feel the breeze
I know I can turn out the light.

My Grandfather (Paw-Paw) passed away 2 years ago this
past August. He was the kind of paw-paw every kid dreams
of having!!! I don't think I can ever think of a time
when we did not have fun.

He used to have a big garden and I have always loved
tomatoes and noodles. Well one day I was out in the
garden with him and I ask if we could plant some
noodles and tomatoes. (I was very young)I remember
very well he said "Sure we can". I helped plant
the tomatoes and he said he was going to plant
the noodles, he walked around the garden for awhile
and was hoeing everything. I ask him were he planted
the noodles at and he looked at me and smiled real
big and said I was too small to see them but he
had planted them. And to this day everytime I go
visit my Granny the noodles and tomatoes always
seem to taste sooooo good. tee hee

The night I got married my grandparent were not able
to come to my wedding. The first thing I did after
I was married was to call my paw-paw. We always use
to tease each other and I would say "when I grow
up I am going to marry you paw-paw". I had to tell
him I was marred now. He loved my husband also.

We spent alot of time together. He tought me how
to drive. He loved to watch John Wayne movies.
I think if I could pick one person to be a saint
it would be my paw-paw-James Calvin Willis
