Every Christmas I would spend alone I would by my own tree And put up the ornaments on my own I would hang up the lights Around the door and windows Of my studio apartment And wish for the same thing Every single year I would wish that I would find A young man who would take my hand And love me until death do us part And even after death keep me in his heart But year after year All that were drawn to me Were the jerks and low lifes Who only had one thing on their minds But this year I hoped things would be different I hoped that my wish would be granted Even if it was granted by the good lord above He would pick out someone perfect for me If I just keep on praying and wishing Maybe GOD will make it happen Then all of a sudden I heard a thump outside And then a crash of water flowing out Of the community pool I looked out of my window and saw something Floating in the pool with wings At first I thought it was a hurt bird But I didn't have my eyeglasses on So to get a perfect view I went out to the pool And to my surprise it was a hurt angel Floating in the community pool So I jumped in and pulled him out The poor angel was hurt And drenched down to the bone So I put a towel I found By the pool around his shoulders He looked at me weakly And said "Thank you for your help." He had beautiful brown eyes And he was tall and lean As we walked in to my apartment He leaned on me for support And then he looked me in the eye And he said to me, "God sent me to you. He felt your pain And I do too." Then all of a sudden His angelic wings dropped off And he said, " I am human now. Your gift from GOD. I hope to make you happy For life." I looked him in the eyes To see if he was telling the truth And he said to me, "We can take our time. Get to know each other. I totally understand Since I am a stranger." I smiled at the once angel And I replied to him, "Merry Christmas And thank GOD for sending you." Cold hands means a warm heart |

I have no idea if God sent me to this world or if I came from... uh... the other place. LOL! But at least I know I'm here. What is life without poetry and adventure? |
