The Angel

On a dark and wintery night,
On a night when there was no light,
I saw a breath-taking view.
I saw a beatiful angel-
An angel dressed in white,
An angel so very bright,
An angel full of light.

I looked at her beautiful and calm face,
And at her pure white gown made of lace.
She smiled at me as I drew nearer
And I returned the smile to the beautiful angel-
The angel dressed in white,
The angel so very bright,
The angel full of light.

I still had a few more steps to go,
A few more steps, to know
Why the angel had come to me.
But just as I reached her
There was a blinding flash of light;
And then, she was gone.
There was no trace of the beautiful angel-
The angel dressed in white,
The angel so very bright,
The angel full of light.

I woke to the melodious sounds of the birds,
A million birds saying a million words;
And then I knew that it was all a dream,
A beautiful dream that made me smile;
A beautiful dream of a beautiful angel-
An angel dressed in white,
An angel so very bright,
An angel, full of light.
