For All My Angels!

Sweet, precious one
how I fought for you!
Wise men said I was a fool
that all was lost,
my life was over,
But I chose your life instead!

I could have saved myself the pain
and listened to those wise men
But even as I heard them speak
I heard God's Angels praying in Heaven:

Don't give up! Have faith and see this through!
God will not leave you! He is carrying you now!
He will not forsake you!

I was pushed beyond myself
and hoped and trusted in God
for I felt His whisper everywhere
the prize is worth the pain!
As I touch your precious face
and experience this amazing love
I know it comes from just one place
My God in Heaven Above!

Original Poem

Sir Warrior
For Doug: Love always!
As I dip my thoughts into time elapsed to shades of gray
and touch gently upon images now aged to stone
fear and doubt are left trembling,
then consumed by a revolutionary evolution from pain to ecstasy
I stood wallowing in the shadows of monster dismay
for my world, my God and my beliefs were hard to bear
If not for the healing salve of love's forgiveness and care
my fight would have been laid to rest with my resolve.
But a moment frozen in time, a moment devine as your hand reached for mine,
cradled it in your own made the harmony of our lives growing together
mesh and mingle like sun through rain
and heaven's angels in concourses draped in white
sing praises to the chance you took to lift my face to the sky
For they won back one warrior to battle these days
just as I have won the prize of eternity with you!
