I Must Have An Angel I do not know if it was the air about me in which I breathed in the sense of depression, I only know depression came for me. For its moment. Acknowledging the downward spiral, I knew if I were to announce it to someone, they might listen instead of keeping it to myself. I rarely share it, I just try to cope. I was not ready to cry, nor ready to give in to senseless darkness. This time it was different. This time I mentioned it to my best friend, my buddy, my lover, my husband. Instead of saying that “nothing is wrong.” For why worry him? He’s got enough on his mind, he needn’t worry about me. For the depression comes and goes, and goes more often than it comes. But I told him I was down and ready to cry, but that I would be OK. I don’t know what was different this time but when I came home, I was still down, but there was a surprise. Two dozen red roses. Today, the angel was my husband. ©KRJ 14 November 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

PdV, you know, once I posted it, I knew I hadn't touched on the sincerity of the moment, because gifts of flowers are rare with him, and he only brings them at moments such as these... denise, hoot, PdV, yes, he is my angel [while sometimes in disguise, more often than not!]. ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Pepper, thank you for echoing PdV - and 'Deer, no, I'm not as deserving as I should be - he puts up with me, and I can be pretty hard to put up with, now and then... |

Lovely poem, Sunshine. But I seem to see two angels. ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

This is very sweet Sunshine..... Yep...I'm digging around the archives again. Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |

Beautiful. The listener, the listener, angels. Where did the voice go?  |
