Angel of Mine

By Lynda Decker

The pain was horrid, brought tears to my eyes.

I was alone and afraid, no one heard my cries.

The dark loneliness of this cold place,

froze the tears that streaked my face.

I squirmed and flinched as my pain grew stronger.

I didn't want to go on, could not live much longer.

Alone, afraid, no one is here.

No one to take away my fear.

I began to cry and then to weep.

As my body ached and it grew weak.

I just wanted someone to hold me tight,

to ease my pain and demolish my fright.

To whisper softly in my ear,

to wipe away each streaming tear.

As I laid there weak and softly cried.

I caught a glimpse of her in my eye.

Her angelic face so soft and white,

the light rays that surrounded her lit up my night.

She was beautiful with her locks of gold

her warm loving touch burned away the cold.

I was no longer alone, she was by my side,

she held and comforted me as I cried.

Her soft loving touch, took away all my fears,

the warmth of her glow dried up my tears.

she placed my head upon her breast,

and whispered, " Hush child, it is time to rest."

The love I felt as she comforted me

was so serene, like the sounds of the sea.

I closed my eyes and breathed in real deep

And drifted off to my never ending sleep.
