Angel of War

I lay here and think about you,
And how the war tore us apart,
How it took away my love,
And stole away my heart,
Every night I pray,
That you could be sent to me,
As a fallen angel from above,
The lonely nights I slept,
The long hours I wept,
Every tear I cry,
Is a memory from you,
My dreams are haunted with visions,
Of what the war put you through,
As I look through the photos,
Of when you were here,
It reminds me everyday,
That my angel is near,
When I visit the grave,
Where you lay at rest,
I hear that soft voice,
Bringing all thoughts at best,
The thoughts in my head,
Will forever stay,
I still have my angel of love,
Who was sent to me,
From the heavens above,
That angel is you,
Making all my dreams,
Alive and true.

The Perfect Gift

Chocolate kisses,
They're so delicious,
But nothing can compare,
To the sweet love you give me,
Which saved me from despair,
You could give me every rose in the garden,
Every teddy bear from the store,
But nothing is like the gentle touch,
And loving me oh so much,
You could tell me a million times,
How much i mean to you,
You could write it down on paper,
Line by line,
But instead,
You carved it into my heart forever.
