A Pat On the Back
I spotted a feather by the sea
I watched as it fell from the sky in front of me
It seemed like a feather from an angels space
I saw it fall with so much grace
It was lifted with the wind and gently settled
on a human back
It travelled far and wide, as I soon lost track
Its touch was soft and an encouraging thing
A pat of a feather from an angels wing
It could have stayed longer but had a lot
of work to do
And from then on never settled on the ground
It calmed and soothed without a sound
From back to back it moved around.
