Have I touched an Angel

Fresh, soft petals
gentle, fragile

Purity of the pearl
innocent, trusting

Fading faith
missing wings

A heartbeat
that makes you hold
your breath

Afraid something
so precious
might shatter
irrevocably

What role do I play
the thorns,
oyster or wings

Wonder why
our paths crossed

An intense need
to mend a lifetime's hurt
in a moment

With aching heart
I look up
and feel the tears
vying with the smile

Touched by an Angel
I feel so small inside

The wings are there
just weighed down

With constant cruelty
sensitive, hurting heart

I need to make him believe
feel his wings again

As his heart soars with happiness
at last seeing himself

For I see a blessing
even God's smile

Touched by this miracle
that's You....
