My angel doesn't live in heaven Doesn't have two wings Doesn't have a halo overhead Or all those things Doesn't sleep on fluffy clouds Throughout eternity My angel lives right here on earth And gives her love to me. My angel has a dirty face From working in the yard Red hands from doing dishes For no heavenly reward. My angel doesn't play a trumpet, Just an upright grand But miracles do happen With each movement of her hand. My angel doesn't wear a robe That flows down long and white Won't ever man the pearly gates While bathed in heaven's light But when she takes the time to let Me know that she is mine I live in seventh heaven and I'm floating on cloud nine....

I live in seventh heaven and I'm floating on cloud nine.... =================== ohhowilovewhenyouwritelikethis  Heaven bound on wings of love, there's so much that you can rise above. I surrender heart and soul, sacrificed to a higher goal. ~DepechMode~ |

Balladeer--What makes this poem so lovely is that it is so touchingly human...she is a lucky lady! |

I do believe that we humans would be much more pleased with earthly angels. As you seem to be. Nicely done. |

Balladeer~ An earthy little woman would just have to be and absolute angel to put up with the likes of thee ! If YOU did the dishes her hands would not be red And YOUR face would be dirty if YOU worked in the yard instead ! But it must be that all things are forgiven - With an angel like that you surely must be in Heaven ! *wink* *hug* *stuff* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

'Deer love, utterly delightfully wonderful, I really love this one it is soooooooo you. Absolutely fabulous, you have such a way of writing everything, really amazing gift you have. Excellent piece form you, I can't play the piano, well I can but only chopsticks, and everyone can manage that. I can play the recorder though, not quite got the same ring to it somehow, has it! Really love this and into my library it goes, to join its fellows. Thank you muchly Take care love as always Mushy or is that Puck? oh whatever pick one of my names and I'll answer to that. (Not THAT but whichever one you pick I mean)  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 02-10-2001).] |

Well now... I DON'T work in the yard... I DON'T do dishes.... I DON'T play the upright grand... My face ISN'T dirty.... I guess you didn't write this one for me...  ... but I do think I might be sprouting wings though (don't worry - no halo) - The better to fly with, my Deer.... Very neat poem, my friend...  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |

She is a very lucky angel to have you under her wings. Such a beautiful writing from your heart deery. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. Donna Smith |

Now how did you manage to catch the eye of an angel like that and where do I order one.  She sounds like the perfect angel to keep our amazing Balladeer smiling and dancing in the clouds. Very nice sir.If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

I also had much love to give But 7th heaven's not where he lives - For when I shared my heart's desire I thought his feet might be on fire! Far and fast away he fled Guess it's something that I said? *G* Beautiful poem, Deer one! |
