My Angel Never Left San Francisco

San Francisco
Presidio Terrace
Where new home sat.
My father 
Peruvian Consul,
Myself 
A two year old
Brat.
Wobbly I walk
Childish noises 
My talk,
The challenge were
The stairs.
How can I roll down
Belly side 
Slide dive
Until I hit the ground?
Never dove alone
Down the stairs
 My consulate home.
Bright light
Holy Child 
Open arms
Guarded my way.
 Words not exchanged
Only love gaze
Until I wobbled 
Back up again 
Thanks to my heavenly friend
For another day.
