The Gift

God sent an angel down to touch This motionless recluse. Emotions that I had not felt In years were then induced. Old sadness and resentment That had broken me in two, I chose to bury deep beneath the Earth-- That life was through. The angel pieced the small shards back With ease and tender care. Then gently brushed the dust and dirt To aid in my repair. He opened up his life to me, And reached out from inside. I said, "I'm so in love with you." "I love you, too," he replied. His presence is a blessing. My prayers have come true. He has given me the gift of love-- A chance to start anew.
