Angel/Poetry

Angel

Little angel

dropped to Earth,

do you understand the ‘why’s’?

Can you remember whence you came,

you glorious surprise!

Your upturned nose

and tender skin,

the hair of down, so soft and light.

What dreams that fill your tiny mind

as you lie still tonight?

With arms outstretched

you reach to touch

my awestruck face. I smile,

plant a kiss on your fingertips

can you stay awhile?

What secrets are

buried in your soul?

Eternity’s breath in your cries.

Within those pools of blue I see

The angel in your eyes.

Wingless now

you wait for me

to lift you up and lead you on

into the life you planned with God,

and nurture seeds you’ve sown.

Each time you gaze

into my face,

defiant chin authority defies,

still only will I ever see

the angel in your eyes.

So much to do,

the days will fly

and through your wisdom grow

toward the vision in your heart

of all that you will know.

And when I lay

in wait of sleep,

returning to the skies,

send  me off with loving gaze,

my angel in your eyes.
