An Angel in Your Midst

Written for my Daughter.

You have an angel here beside you, feeling vaguely familiar to you, yet still, quite unknown. Your life placed serenely in his hands, yet aside he steps, for knowing the need you give, to living your life, your own. With love deep within himself of you, one as tender as the moisture from his tears. His utter existence, to be here for you, his purpose of want and desire, to hold away your fears. Wanting an eternity of bliss for you, but knowing the reality of the fact, you'll settle for just a few years. His longing to cradle you tenderly in his arms, away a distance from your own mistakes, and of the worlds most painful harms. Still he stands quietly beside you, constantly aching, deeply within his soul. Wanting to listen to a silence, from the volume of regrets, screaming from your heart, as it tries so, so hard, to feel whole

[Hi]

Very nicely written. It sums a lot of emotion in the poem, which is somewhat hard to do in poems. The last few lines were really nicely put together. Great Poem!
