Angel of Mine

Angel of Mine I knew I’d soon go places my life had never known a land of battles, snags and snares things I would not condone I knew that I would soon become her biggest enemy I couldn't let that stop me now ‘cause life was calling me calling from a distance a place we’d all once been but none of us have memories of times before we sinned I’d always been very well protected with bubble over head but with no bubble o’er me now these visits I would dread for she dabbled in a world so treacherous and seedy that losing some or all of me held great possibility I was honest and up front for I knew I had to be for as much as I had checked her out she too was checking me we were guided by her heart and I followed my own an unlikely pair to be paired up prior to this unknown polar opposites at best and opposites attract the journey was destined to be long and hard but we were now attached mine was an awful foolhardy addiction I was lost to even myself she was the carrier of my drug I’d put caution on the shelf I felt that I was losing my fears were for us all but God’s grace was upon me and He wouldn't let me fall days and weeks and months went by and when late June rolled ‘round I gathered up my frazzled nerves and dressed in that green gown the doctor walked into the room and things took off real fast when he handed that angel over to me I said “thank God, at last” her APGAR score was perfect no problems there to bare I’d be taking my angel home real soon oh yes, this life IS fair by Rochelle Harris
