5 candles for an Angel ---------------------- five such an age big dreams high hopes time to grow and change five can it be almost here so close and still so far away from me five I was ready to see you fly to see you happy but...not to die five a big guy now I guess i'll never know. what five wouldve looked like what things you would have known 5 the snow is falling a blanket on the ground traces of you fading memories abound 5 a magic number not a baby now a boy forever 3, forever gone 5...you'll never be. 5 lines of poetry five candles burning still 16 months to understand I doubt I ever will.I raised a little boy for almost 4 years, he was my foster child and my nephew. He was murdered 14 days after leaving our house, by his new 'family". No one can ever say he wasnt "mine"...I think I am the only one who remembers...
