18. For My Love

In the not too distant past, the angels sang a song of joy
For upon the earth did arrive a female child who rivaled their own

A babe with a laugh that echoed the hope of the ages
And a smile that could melt the coldest of hearts and glares

Dark covered curls spilt across honey-dewed skin
Framing the features of innocence more beautiful then any precious stone

From such youth did grow a young woman of such charisma
A woman who loved children, raccoons, and brown-colored mares

Youth sprang to maturity and then to adult
A creature of such purity and hope, a sign for the masses

A heart so large that God watched over it wishing
That even he could recreate the magic that had produced such a wonder

So filled with excitement and wonder and so innocent and pure
Hardly having experienced life before it was shattered like used wedding glasses  

Stolen hope and wishes and a life that could have been over
Only a woman given by angels could forgive such a heartless blunder

With grace and smiles and a heart beaming with love
She blossomed for everyone to see the that life was for living and not for regret

Dispensing with happiness and forgoing her own
Friends flocked to her to touch and to see and to hear

We all know that miracles are limited and so very few
For just the chance to touch an angel is more than most of us get

But harbored inside my heart I am a man brimming with pride
I thank the angels for giving me my love and keeping her near
