Exceptional Free Verse 2024 Favorites : Sleep Little Angel by Gypsy Blue Rose For my sister, Mari Angeles, may she rest in peace

Sleep little Angel don’t you cry, your paper boat waits ashore with singing skylarks.   Sleep wrapped  in the long dark night amidst a mantle of stars.   Sleep at dawn, sleep! On your paper boat. Little by little will disappear at the end of the world.   Your paper boat is filled with love, hopes, and dreams. I’ll wait with God’s Angels  at my side of the shore.             Recognized Author Notes My little sister, Mari Angeles (Mary of Angels), died at 3 years old before I was born. My mother suffered from Depression for years after. She prayed for another baby with blue eyes and her prayers were answered, I have blue eyes. I never met her. I heard stories of my sister about how sweet and beautiful she was. I saw pictures and it was true. Skylark birds are known for their beautiful songs The top painting is the "Madonna of the Streets" by Roberto Ferruzzi, 15th century Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
