As advertised on my blog last week, my Guest Writer Spot is back! Thank you to all those who contacted me; I will be featuring your work over the next few weeks and months. If you’d like your writing to appear on this page, please contact me here or by e-mail: esthernewtoneditor@outlook.com. I accept stories, poems, articles – in fact, anything and everything. All you have to do is make sure your prose is no longer than 2000 words and your poems no more than 40 lines.

My first Guest Writer is Patricia Salamone, who sent in this stunning poem she wrote many years ago, to help her get through a very tough time in her life.

ANGEL DEAR
By: Patricia Salamone

Littlest angel ever so near,
my heart is weeping, can you hear.
I held you in my arms
and felt your breath upon my cheek,
I gently kissed your face you were just so weak.
Your little hand held mine,
your face was so divine,
I looked into your eyes,
you looked back into mine.
As your life ebbed away and the night
turned to day, and I held you close to me,
you reached your tiny hand up and
touched me with a sigh, you smiled
a little smile for me as if to say goodbye.
Littlest angel ever so near
my heart is weeping, can you hear.
