O Angel Near  

O angel who is guarding near,
please listen to my prayer and hear.
Protect my love, for whom I weep,
and keep her safe, while she may sleep.
In this sickness, my love I avow;
give me the strength, that I will need now,
to conquer my fears of what could be,
for she means so very much to me.

O angel who is guarding near,
please hold her in your arms so dear
and keep her from the things I fear.
Please guide the hands of those who care.
and help them see what may be there.
Give her the strength, that she may need.
Please listen to my prayer I pleed.

O angel that is standing by;
please listen, even though I cry.
Help her heal and return with me,
to our home and her family.
Now one last thing, before I go.
Please give her peace, so she may know,
just how much, we all love her so.


If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us.
John

this read so beautifully...
a very tender piece of poetry.

quiet in the eyes of most
but deep,
swift and full of life
