Angels & Doves (Resubmit}
I have heard angels fly on golden wings
And I believe they do
Doves represent the purest form of love
And I suppose that’s true
Sweetheart there is a simple fact
That I wish you to know
The beauty of both the Angels and Doves
Live inside your soul
Sweetheart you are an angel
Precious as can be
With a love that is pure
As a snow white doves could ever be
As I sit here in this prison
I am left to fight
All the pain of being separated
From my hearts delight
I am starting to understand
The pain of prison blues
Because I know without a doubt
Another filled my shoes
There is nothing to excuse
Nothing to forgive
Even though time has stopped for me
You must continue to live
It is only now I can see
What I’ve done to you
Leaving you in a situation
Forced to do what you must do
As you do, what you must do
I wish you to know
That I am praying to the Lord above
To protect your soul
When they finally set me free
With tears in my eyes
On the wings of Angels and Doves
Straight to you I’ll fly
We shall share a precious gift
Given to us by God above
Then delivered to the two of us
On the wings of Angels and Doves
The gift I speak of at the end
of this poem was our daughter
Michaela. After hearing she was
born I didn't get another letter
for over a year. Prison teaches
one all about pain and heartache.
I wrote poems and mailed them home
everyday during that year and finally
right before my release I received a
letter. That was one of the happiest
days of my life for I knew I could
go home. I will never put my family
at risk again for I found my heart
and soul that year. thank you
