I became An Angel
I was driving home late at night.
It was dark. The road was wet & slick.
At an intersection, bright lights to my right.
Coming fast. They hit me like a brick.
The next thing I remember clearly.
I am in heaven and God is nearby.
There is also several angels near me.
God is saying. Now he can really fly.
I said “ what is happening to me?”
God said “You have become an angel.”
“I have a special job for you, you see.”
“You will become a guardian angel “
“You will guard your girlfriend”
“I have another job for her angel.”
I said “How could I guard my girlfriend?”
“You love her” God said. “That’s my angle.”
“Since you love her you will protect her”
“Do not fear for God is always near.”
“All knowledge needed, I will confer
to you . There is no need to fear.”
At lightning speed I flew to you.
You could not see me by your side.
You were mourning. Your love was true.
It was so sad I almost cried.
As time passed, you became different.
You started using drugs & drinking.
Friends noticed the difference.
What was it you were thinking.?
Then, you said you missed me so.
It hurt you to your very core.
You just couldn’t let me go.
You couldn’t take it anymore.
Later, I stopped an O.D. attempt.
I had a friend come over in time.
You tried not to show contempt.
He said he knew that you were mine.
But, He didn’t want you to hurt yourself.
So he came over just to check on you.
You were so ashamed. He helped
you to start feeling more like you.
He doesn’t know why he came .
He just had an urgency to come.
You told him not to feel blame.
“My guardian angel was the one.”
“It had to be him that brought you here.”
“Just in time to save my life.”
All he could say was he felt someone near.
He is glad to see you were alright.
After that, he would drop in often.
A friendship grew to become love.
Later, he said he was moving to Boston.
Would you come to & be his love?
He asked you to marry him & you said yes.
You started making plans.
I said “Well, this is some mess.”
But, I went along. I was an angel, not a man.
Then, all of a sudden, I awoke.
I was in my bed, the sheets a mess.
I got up and grabbed my coat.
I rushed to your house in a minute , or less.
I told you I had had a dream.
I told you all that had happened.
I said it was a sign.—- I mean,
it is not something that will happen.
I meant I wanted to marry you.
I knew for sure you were the one.
I was glad the dream did ensue.
God wants us to have a son.
You agreed to marry me.
To be my bride. No questions why..
You wanted people just to see
