My Angel

My Angel

My angel brings me sunshine in the morning

My angel brings me starshine in the night

My angel tucks me in when I am tired

And tells me every thing will be alright.

My angel is the flower in the concrete

Growing indomitably through the crack

Showing me how great the love of God is

And finding what I've lost to bring it back.

My angel has no wings that I've discovered

No shiny halo up above their head

My angel manifests as ordinary

But in ways un-ordinary, brings dreams back from the dead.

My angel gives me songs when I am sorrowed

My angel dries my tears each time I cry

My angel fills my heart with joy and laughter

And does these things without me knowing why.

Walking down these roads of life so lonely

I stopped believing there would come a day

When love would bloom just like a dandelion

But unlike such, refuse to blow away.

I guess I learned the hard way to stop trusting

For trust was something I was born to give

They say that those that love the most are loved the least

But even I, could not my love, outlive.

It stayed inside a tiny hole in my soul

And looked to find another heart to feel

And when it spied the dear face of my angel

At last it sighed and said love must be real.

I know deep down that you're really not an angel

You're another lonely lost soul just like me

But when you take my hand and look in my eyes

That shiny halo above your head.... is all that I can see.
