how would you describe an angel-
is it a he or a she
out of this world or
floating somewhere
just above the earth
surrounded by a blinding light?
whatever others may say
I know for sure
the angel
is right here on earth
the friend
who doubles happiness
and halves the pain
the friend for all time
and everywhere
without a fault
so special
