I somehow can identify,
With your need to flee...
On more than one occasion-
Has the urge come over me.

But there are those who need you,
In you they’ve found a stay,
A smile, and word of kindness
To lighten up their day.

A chiding quip, or comment-
Eliciting a smile...
And giving them the courage,
To press on for awhile.

Perhaps a mystic princess-
To add spice to their plate.
I beg you reconsider-
Before it is too late.

Perhaps it is the wording-
Of your writing which inspires-
Or your seeming, boundless vigor
Does lift the one who tires.

So if, and when, you spread your wings-
To on your journey go-
Remember, mortals love you-
On this ball of mud below.

John... Beautiful, touching words. Very tender and loving, I'm sure your angel would love this. However, I must admit that the words that really caught my eye were "On this ball of mud below". Very quirky, I thought.
