I See Angels

I See Angels
 
I see angels, not only, when I sleep, 
more often, when awake, 
some petite, in gowns, flowing long, 
or putting final touches, 
to beauty, that needs none, 
from little angels, to full grown ones 

They talk in tones, often, 
disguised, not understood, 
a cryptological language, 
interpreted only by angels, 
in their own angel group, 
occasionally break tradition, 
speak certain phrases, 
recognizable to all, 
always welcome, always good, 
increasing my love, for my angel brood 

Memories of angels, pleasurable thoughts, 
lead to today, when I thought naught, 
an angel does leave me, 
for another, she will care, 
increasing the love we all share 

All of my angels, share the same fate, 
leaving their father, once their first date, 
soon will return, with their own special angels, 
for me to love and to care 

A contented father, rejoices and waits, 
for I see angels

Mac, this is just as great as that other one I just commented on. I am really enjoying your poems today. Just wish I had time to spend reading many many more of each of my favorite poets here. So many cool people to read! Too bad this was not in the angel contest, was it? I think it would have been perfect for that contest!

What a great father and grandfather you must be, Mac. It's nice to be surrounded by a "brood" of angels, isn't it? Brings a lot of joy into your life. Delightful poem! Love, Carolyn
