My Guardian Angel

I have a guardian angel,
Her job is real demanding.
I keep her always on her toes
Cause of my many misunderstandings!

If I have a plumbing problem
she's the one I call.
If I need to book a flight somewhere
she can do it all!

She’s my oldest daughter, 
Susan is her name.
She’s always pretty busy
I’m partly one to blame.

I’m not her only pressure
She’s got other jobs to do
She mainly works in Real Estate
But she’s a landlady too!

These two jobs take lots of time
There’s little left to spare!
Yet any time I need her help
I know that she’ll be there.

She’s my computer Guru
But her “student’s” not too bright.
The result is repetition.
Takes me a while to get it right!

But she doesn't let it bother her
At least that’s how it seems
Her even disposition
won’t allow her to get mean!

I'm proud that she's my daughter
of that you can be sure.
with everything she has to do
she's able to endure.

Yes she's my Guardian Angel
she looks after me so well
I'd say how much I love her
but words could never tell!

Great poem Dad. Now you've just boosted Sue's ego. But that alright cause I know your coming up with a great poem about your Angel. She can have the guardian part, cause there' s only room for one Angel and that's me. I don't know what you'll do about Chuck. On a serious note though Dad really nice poem. Gosh what will you do about Chuck? that's a tough one, oh well! Love you Karen
