Tarnished Angel
for the mucky ones
and those who know me

I’m just a tarnished angel
Whose halo’s slipped a bit
I’ve tried to do much better
But I haven’t managed it
I’ve not very good
In fact I’m rather bad
Not from evil deeds
It’s all the men I’ve had

I’m just a tarnished angel
Whose wings are rather bare
With feathers moulting here
And others falling there
Other angels laugh at me
They say I look a sight
But they don’t get the fun I have
Almost every night

I’m just a tarnished angel
I don’t think I’ll ever fly
Only the shinning angels
Soar aloft up in the sky
The fact is I’m rather grubby
With smudges on my face
I’ve tried to clean them off
But I am just a sad disgrace

I’m just a tarnished angel
And here I’ll always be
My one and only virtue
Is you look great compared to me

Marsha



Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Marsha, you look like Jaynes Mansfield ~ and this poem illustrates her earthiness as well!
lol

I really enjoyed this!

I'll wipe the smudges off of your face ~ if you'll wipe the smudges off of mine!

Is you look great compared to me

Don't I wish!!!! LOL Your halo may have a few dents and be in need of a bit of polish upon occasion... but there's no one more compassionate or caring... and no finer friend. *S*

Thank you for these smiles!!! *S*

Seems to me the tarnished angels are to ones who really know how to LIVE, besides it's nothing that a bit of spit and Polish couldn't sort out.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
