Paul Callus Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Angel

back in sixty-nine
awed by Victoria Station
my first trip abroad

she came up to me
old, frail and helpless looking
struggling with her case

woman in distress
hesitant, asking for help
disorientated

her mind set at rest
with a reassuring smile
her quandary solved

while boarding her train
with tears in her eyes she said
you are an angel
