The angels embrace with their wings so deep,
quietly whispering as you go off to sleep.
Leaving this world such peace you will find,
shattering forever many hearts of a kind.

Finally you sleep, your soul can now rest,
to a place so special yours to bequest.
You went out in style in your wrestling outfit,
ready to combat what you’re facing ahead.

Lying, no breathing, so innocent and small,
while in your bed beckoned the angels call.
All pain now gone to let you be free,
you have been given the ultimate key.

Emotions so raw, tears a torrent descend,
just wanting to hug and hold you again.  
You pass us by with a faint breeze as we stand,
as the angels gently take hold of your hand.

Leaving footprints within our bleeding hearts,
leaving your family which should never be apart.
Your memory so vivid, we were so lucky to share,
but still there is suffering as we’re left in despair.

A love so valued and deep wounds so raw,
ripping our hearts as tears slowly fall.
Your footprints embedded forever in sand,  
forever young in your special land.
