(Here's my re-post forever dedicated to our dearest Linda. Bless you, dearest friend, and may our healing clarion calls be heart hugs to you as you continue to heal in friendship's angel wings! )

    

Earth Angel
(Co-Titled "Why There's More Than Just Heaven")
By: Noah Eaton
(Started 11/17/03
Finalized 2/20/04)

Alabaster skin,
more perfect than a dresden doll,
singing with tourmaline whales,
swimming in fields of poinsettia,
her heart's worn out like the Star of Bethlehem,
leading children through the Door of Illumination,
for she sees children as white casablanca lilies,
kissed in the sunbeam rain...

Faith don't need to move mountains,
hope don't need no prophesy,
love don't need no philosophy,
when I look through the eyes of an angel,
showing me why there's more than just heaven...

    

"No other virtue makes man more equal to the angels,
than the imitation of their way of life."
And friends are angels who liftus back on our feet,
when our wings forget how to fly.
Give yourself permission to believe,
rise above the surface of the sky with moonstone dolphins,
heaven is there where the green grass grows,
cause every blade of grass is guided by an angel lullaby...

Faith don't need to move mountains,
hope don't need no prophesy,
love don't need no philosophy,
when I look through the eyes of an angel,
showing me why there's more than just heaven...

Your breath is the holy wind,
cosseting the Earth with your authentic voice,
there the harvest moon's looming,
listen to the children learning to sing...

Faith don't need to move mountains,
hope don't need no prophesy,
love don't need no philosophy,
when I look through the eyes of an angel,
showing me why there's more than just heaven...

That's why more than just heaven,
you've brought heaven upon the Earth...

Mistletoe Angel,

  I like this a lot.  

"And friends are angels who liftus back on our feet,
when our wings forget how to fly."

   Your angel sounds absolutely wonderful!

Noah, my dear angel friend, when you wrote this for me after my heart surgery, I printed it out and every one I showed it to was impressed by your talent and your loving friendship.

I still have a difficult road ahead of me but with friends like you to clear the way, all will be well!

Thank you again for this gift from your heart!

Love you!
Linda
