A Letter to Heaven - Visitor's Poem
by Brandy Hand
(Downsville, NY, USA)



To my dear friend in heaven
I ask a favor of you
send me down your strength
so I can make it through.
I'm kind of feeling empty,
at times miserable and cold,
I'm feeling a bit resentful
I'm still living and must grow old...
Send down some courage
that you have always had.
I dislike being bitter or the feeling of being mad...
I try so hard to understand
the reason and the rhythm
I question why He took you
and the answer I cannot find.
I believe that you can hear me
and I believe that you can see.
So now I'm asking for your help
to set this anger free.
Remind me how to be happy
love-able and kind
I know someday I'll understand
and my answer I will find.
