Angel

A Poem by marvo

Swooping down unexpectedly from above.
The angel plucked the stricken boy to safety.
And as she carried him, she massaged his heart with her words.
These words breathed new life into his soul.
Until he began to feel alive once more.

Gently whispering her soft words of love.
She rebuilt the boy piece by piece.
Slowly, she put him back together.
Until one day he began to recognise his own reflection in the mirror.

Gone now were the fears that had haunted his appearance,
so that all that he saw was his vulnerability.
Gone were his endless doubts and his mistrust.
All were now replaced by her oft repeated promises.

The boy smiled….
Inwardly and outwardly.
For he knew that the angel was good.
She had brought him the message of 'hope'.
As a just reward for surviving his sufferings.

The boy asked the angel how long she would stay.

“As long as you need me” the angel replied.
