kiss of an angel

my middle daughter was born with a prominent birthmark
in the middle of her forehead, it was noticeable and red
I was horrified by it; because it shouted from her face
Sue, one of the nurses saw it and made this observation
“They say when you are born with a birthmark on your forehead
it was from the kiss of an angel telling you goodbye from heaven”
