The little lonely girl sat by the window,
Watching the floating snow flakes outside.
Her eyes followed one particular flake,
That resembled a tiny angel.
She reached out to grab the little flake
And then brought it inside.
But when she opened her tiny hand,
All she saw was a drop of water.
A single tear escaped her eye,
Her lips trembled.
She felt as though her hope was gone,
Along with the little angel.
Today she sits by the open window,
Watching leaves flutter to the ground.
She reaches out to grab a little leaf,
That's shaped like a tiny angel.
Her face lights up with a blossoming smile,
For she knows that this time her hope will stay.
She gets up to put the leaf in a book,
Her hope back, her life restored.

I wait so patiently, my breath held still,
I wait for three words from him that will change my life.
He gives me a lot of words to hear,
But none of them have a deeper meaning.
I'm only his friend, his pal and buddy,
But nothing more than that.
And it tears me up from inside,
That he does not want or need me.
My friends think that he's not right for me,
But I give no heed to their harsh words.
All I do is wait for those words,
Those three sweet words that will change my life.

On a dark and lonely night,
A stranger saw a beautiful horse
And went up to it to stroke its mane.
He whispered, "What are you doing here,
You great and beautiful beast?
Do you await someone
To mount thy bare back?
I hope that that someone is me
For I need a powerful beast
To take me back to my loved ones,
Otherwise I am stranded here.
So now I am mounting thee
For you have to take me
Back to my loved ones."
Saying so the stranger mounted the lovely horse,
And galloped away into the dark night.

The wind blew on my face
As I stood in the middle of an empty field.
It was getting cold
But little did I care.
All I had to do was call the spirits.
And I did....
They came in huge gusts of wind
And it seemed to me as tho' they were whispering,
All at once, into my ear
Till I could bear it no more.
I shouted out a chant
But they did not go away.
Their whispers were becoming louder and louder,
And my chants were becoming softer and softer
Till I could barely speak...
Then, all of a sudden, everything went quiet and still,
Including me,
For I could talk no more and move no more.
All I could do was stare,
As I lay on the ground in my last moments,
Thinking of my family.
I thought of them till I could think no more,
As I felt a growing numbness
That reached my head and fogged my eyes.
And then, everything went black...

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.
