Angel of God

An embryo in a cocoon of safety
slowly unfolds into a world of hands.

Hands of unconditional love 
bring her into the beauty of light.

No longer floating
 now breathing the lightness of air.

She fights hands and fist, 
unknowingly being adorned, brought into life.

Kissed by an angel, he leaves his mark
as she is grasped by her loving parents.

She is a gift to them, a gift to this world,
an angel of God.
