The Hand Carved Ivory Angel

With a sacral dimple you can't miss  


             he looks like a hand carved ivory Angel  


as I draw him close and feather him a kiss    

 
he gurgles with laughter, "I'm your Angel"

'He gurgles with laughter 'I'm your angel' This you can't miss, the sacral dimple, such a clever poem - maybe one day, who knows, you'll blink and look again for the carved Ivory Angel might just blow you a kiss back. Hugs and blessings my friend, Jennifer.

A beautiful inspiration... Angels are miracles sent from heaven to grace our spirits and flavor our hearts with gentleness that caresses and consoles... Your words caress the heart and send a message of love to the spirit! A beauty. God bless you
