Tattoo Angel
Tattoo Angel
Drowning in his loneliness
he tried most every angle.
Finally he prayed to God
and asked Him send an angel.
“Someone to be faithful
who will not break my heart.
Someone that will stand by me
when life falls all apart.”
Then came a knock on his hearts door
he saw Gods angel standing there.
She had a scar across her cheek
and tattoos everywhere.
Her clothes were torn and dirty
from a life lived on the street.
You never know what you might see
where hell and angels meet.
He told her his story
and about the prayer he prayed.
She listened as he spoke to her
then she didn't leave, she stayed.
That was twenty years ago
and they've been through a lot.
Never once has he complained
about the angel that he got.
No matter where it is they go
you see their love light there.
The man who loved the angel
with the tattoos everywhere.
