Angel

Angel
   

"I  call him angel although not his name  he sat down besides me one crisp fall day
said to me " why do you cry"   i turned to look at with tears in my eyes i said" he hits
me i don,t know why"    he looked at me said " there is a better way "  he  dried my eyes and
carried me away   took me to safe place where he gave me courage, hope and faith
fed me a grilled cheese sandwich made straight from heaven  . three months later
he said " goodbye"   leaving me with courage, hope,and renewed faith in god.
 until the day we meet again  i say to him " your my and my friend".

I enjoyed reading this simple but sweet poem of yours. It sounds like there is lots of history behindd it. I would recommend fixing the grammatical and spelling errors. I believe that when you were writing this poem you were trying to convey and express your feelings, and I believe that you came very close to doing that. I would recommend also talking about your emotions when he talked to you and when you responded. I think taht you would like using words like "pastiche" and "unconditional"
