The Call
The late moments of the night
To the early sounds of the morning
The call comes around
A call no one wants to hear
But a call that will ease the sounds
The sounds of suffering and pain from a well fought battle
To peace and calmness of a new resting angel
An angel loved by all and missed by many
The angel, whom is my loving Nonno Angelo

For my Nonno, Deanna
