Guardian Angel

An ad for angel statuettes inspired this one.

GUARDIAN ANGEL

Shiny wings of silvery white aflutter
flying gracefully above the crowds.
Her skin satiny aglow.
She glides slowly to earth and steps
up to my bedside.
Down to her knees she goes as
she leans over me.
She whispers in my ear with sweet
warm breath awakening me from
my slumber.
The old day is past and a new day
has begun.
I start my day off with her close by.
Guardian Angel, over my shoulder.
She is always there righting all
my wrongs and keeping me from
harm.
