Angel Love - Poem by Gary R. Ferris

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 life’s 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.
