The Day the Angel Stopped By

Ever, have the feeling your being watch?

I woke up this morning startled,

Standing at the foot of my bed

Was this beautiful lady,

With, iridescent wings, glittering eyes,

That twinkled bright as the light.

I was holding my breath, wondering.

Watching her as she watch me

She walked over to me and sat down

Touching my arm

Her face close to mine

She squeezed my hand ever so softly

My heart began to swell.

I felt my heart began to flutter

I knew it was my time to go

I tried to speak but only stuttered

When she spoke my name

In my state of shock, oh dear,

The angel reminded me of the day

I was born

She told me there was a reason

I was still here

I felt truly blessed by this angel

She touched my soul

And granted me another,

Wonderful day.
