There once was an angel,
All lonely and blue;
Hard times and trouble,
Were all that he knew.
*****
Hurting and drinking,
He did every night;
Searching for answers,
For wrong and for right.
*****
Then one day,
In the bright morning sun;
An angel appeared,
And his worries were done.
*****
Happy together,
Everywhere they went;
And the angel was happy,
For the angel God sent.
*****
Loving and caring,
Until the day was new;
A young angel was born,
Who looked like them too.
*****
The three angels cherished,
All that they had;
Until lifes winds shifted,
And they became sad.
*****
Fighting and fussing,
They hurt each other;
And soon began wandering,
In search of another.
*****
Sooner than later,
Things fell apart;
And left the two angels,
With broken hearts.
*****
Apart they looked,
Near and far;
Searching for answers,
In every star.
*****
The young angel hurt,
And grew very cold;
While the two angels fought,
And only grew old.
*****
The young angel tried,
To bring them together;
By giving her love,
She could make things better.
*****
Separate roads they took,
Soon all crossed;
When anger and pain,
Had long been tossed.
*****
The story ends,
With them parting never;
For who would have guessed,
Angel Love lasts forever.
