The Angel Of Joy

I awakened this morning, to a ravishing sound,
the sound of her voice, and her feet on the ground.
And I wondered if God, had answered my prayers,
these thoughts consuming, all of my cares.

And a tear drop fell from my eyes, a tear of joy,
I looked up from my pillow, and saw her sitting so coy.
My angel in white, right beside my side,
telling her story to me, and she said...


"This is the story, which you will never hear,
the story only I could tell.
This is the story that you have waited to hear,
the one I have needed to yell.
Open your eyes, every morning with me,
and wipe all the tears you have cried.
Open your eyes every morning and see,
your Angel of Love by your side."

And a tear drop fell from my eyes, a tear of joy,
I looked up from my pillow, and saw a creature so coy.
My Angel of Love, caressing my head.
My Angel of Love, sitting beside my bed.
