Apples of Gold Poem???

Question

When I was young, my mother had this book that I think was called "Apples of Gold". There was a poem that I liked..

Today my world has ended
My heart no longer sings
I fold my pride about me
As angels fold their wings

I don't know if that's exactly how it went but it's pretty close. I've remembered that poem all these years but I have no idea who wrote it..do you?

Answer 2

After 30 years I still remember this poem and googled it to find out the name and who wrote it. I think Amy Tam
I recited at an assembly on the last day of school in 3rd grade.
