In the shadow of the night I heard a voice.
An angel telling me that I had a choice.
“A new life I offer you than the one you have led,
or much of the same with all its troubles lurking ahead.”
Without a wavering doubt I humbly declined.
Surprised he asked, “tell me why? If you don’t mind!”
I have a treasure of my own to brighten up my life.
Ruby red lips like gems, adorning a beautiful wife.
Dreamy eyes of ocean blue, heart like shimmering gold,
a touch from the heavens, and a body I ache to hold.
She gives me joy whenever I see her smiling face.
I wouldn’t replace those memories for any other place.
“I can give you all that and much much more,
a life with no sorrows and another to adore.”
Can you hold my hand and guide me so I don’t fall?
She spent her life with me with every fiber of her soul.
Can you fight my demons and show me my life’s goal?
She fought the world for me so I can stand tall.
She spawned me seven wonders that sparkle like Stars.
Those, I will cherish in spite of life’s battles and its scars.
Even though our bodies are starting to feel their time.
I can never repay this woman if I work for a lifetime.
“The Lord had said that my offer you would decline.
{Love Prevails,} those are the words of the Devine.”
“I envy you your life’s story you so miraculously told.
The gift of your lover’s love, He so generously bestowed.”
Go back to heaven and tell them of what I have said.
O’ angel, if not for Love we might as well be dead.
