children's angel poem for Rosie 5 1/2 years

for Rosie 5 1/2 years

The angel has a leaf
for you,
on which is written
all the names of
all your ancestors (family).

She waves it like a
feather
through the air
to scare
away the dark.

Then you may sleep
as if you were
floating
down a river
with weeds for your friends,
and trees.
