He isn’t easy on the eyes and in fact He rejects common pronouns of gender So perhaps out of respect I’ll refer To this beautiful soul as Earth Angel. There is a lot of wisdom in Earth Angel’s words It is as if God painted a plain black vessel And allowed it to be filled with green grace With every trial this soul’s heart is lifted Unlike most who fall into the pity party Earth Angel is accepting even thankful For the opportunity to grow despite dilemma Even when people and life are unkind Earth Angel was abandoned at birth And grew up in foster homes in the early sixties A flower child at heart this soul is free spirited Earth Angel believes in the third gender Opening one’s heart to a suffering soul Can be painful but humbling Earth Angel never meets a stranger Despite his childhood Earth Angel is cultured So how can a brown cow Eat green grass And produce white milk Earth Angel would jest A hearty laugh always followed No matter who or how it was answered Earth Angel always laughed As time moves on so does this soul Never married and not sure it was a desire Earth Angel left this world due to COVID Final wishes to go to heavenly home were granted To a former ward of the court but a beautiful soul
