I came here just to visit,
On borrowed time some say,
Delivered by the Angels
On a path to find my way.
I danced in my fairy shoes
And sang a serenade
To life, love and happiness
So please don’t be afraid.
The time has come for me to go,
I’m going home to play
With Angels in Paradise
I can no longer stay.
Please don’t be sad for me,
I really am alright,
Just think of me loving you
O My Darliing ….good night.

Back in 2007 I was writing a fair bit of poetry, and use to belong to a site called Poetbay which really was quite a lovely platform for sharing poetry and encouraging others on there poetry journey. Sometimes they would set challenges and give you a brief to work to. This poem came about when the challenge was to write an Epitaph.
