An Angel In My Arms
It was at lunch
She sat there looking prim and proper
She ate grapes by the bunch
~
Reminded me
Of a trip to Africa
So staid was she
~
She told of the double stacked bus
And how she had been traveling
Animals and people all together, she did fuss
~
She used a cane
To get about
She was in some pain
~
But that was all she said
About her trip to lion country
Before she dropped her head
~
Poor dear was plum tuckered out
I wanted to laugh
I wanted to yell and shout
~
Instead I had a big grin
Took a breath
And softly giggled again
~
She was so funny
So innocent, I am sure
They called her sunny
~
She raised her head
Said what? I don't
Her eyes plead
~
I helped her to my room
She was lovely
Inhaling her perfume
~
I kissed her soft about her face
I gently laid her down
Told her she could stay at my place
~
I watched her as she slept,
Her eyes seem
As if she wept
~
I turned out the light
I held her tight
I held an angel in my arms tonight
