I’m Not An Angel

I’m not an angel in any way, as you know
My body is too caught up in passion’s flow
I prefer to enjoy the earthly pleasure here
To experiencing divinity be it ever so near
Maybe if I wasn’t so wedded to sweet delight
I would be keener to say my prayers at night
But I prefer to speak to HIM through my day
And show HIM praise in everything I do or say

I’m not designed to be eternally good as gold
I’m more into seeking someone warm to hold
It’s not that I don’t believe I should be good
But I find it too hard to be all that I should
I’m not an angel who seeks out angelic deeds
You know I’ll be dealing with passions needs
Besides why should I try to be other than me?
I don’t believe in pretending that I’m saintly

I’m not into saintly pure thoughts at all
I tend to respond more to fires fevered call
Saintly and good aren’t the words that fit me
I’m more a wench who flares often heatedly
I suspect that if I tried to follow the pure way
That no one would take me seriously anyway
Everyone knows whom I am and what it is I do
And I prefer me like this, tell me don’t you?

Marsha, dear Marsha, I want you to know
'Twas God made those passions; 'tis man who says no
So come let us fly and swing to His sky
I love you, just true you, your example is high.

And you are the very, very best. xo

Stay just as you are Marsha. Be yourself, I am sure you are an angel. Angels come in many forms you know. floria

Bill darling boy thank you I don’t think I could change the heart of me. I am only what I am, nothing more and nothing less. I tried to be different but it never felt right so I let the me of who I am shine forth. I’m happier this way

And yes I’m aware that you believe in the same creed too. To your own self be true
Thank you my friend I appreciate you truly
