AN ANGEL
I know an angel
of earthly fame
many seek her confidence
life is tough
living can become rough
this angel understands
many lose hope
but her light's bright
her words pure
this angel
with a heart so true
offers love and advice
recognized truth
means sorrow
disappears
promise returns
her magic works
happy folks
all recognize
her blessing
God's messenger of love
the restorer
of damaged souls
this holy vessel of perfection
but she knows sorrow
and immense pain
more profound than most
suffering despite
her heavenly calling
her beauty shines from
within
and still
she gives all
despite her grief
this spiritual being
a guardian angel
of hope.
