Angel Among Princesses

Angel among Princesses
Yes she was there always
Pretending to mind in all ways
Without minding what it takes
She sacrifices all she gets
To ensure that, after all he makes it
Yes, she is a an angel among princesses

Those flowers God planted for us
Those which prefer to wither and give others life
Those that don’t care about their well being but for others
Those flowers always giving shade to others
Yes they exist, I have known them, I have seen and met and I have them
Yes, she is a an angel among princesses

Yes I tried to escape since the journey seemed long and tiresome
I thought I was being harassed, pressed and stretched for no reason
I forgot; stretch a rubber band and it becomes useful
She stretched me in the process of making me new 
I swear will never leave her side I have to live 
To shine for her, shine in her and make her shine
 Yes, she is a an angel among princesses

She gave up everything for me, her family life and friends
A tear is what I will never make her shed
Her happiness will be my passion
Her success will be my goal
Her presence be my driver 
More so for her will I be living
Yes, she is a an angel among princesses
