Angelwing's SMILES4U - Poetry Corner: My Earthly Angel by Sandi McCarthy

MY EARTHLY ANGEL	You came into my life one day,
	And touched my heart with your special way;
	When and where I can't remember,
	But I knew that moment we'd be friends forever.
	From a childhood filled with abuse and rejection,
	You've become a woman full of love and affection;
	Your smile is like a rainbow, beautiful to behold,
	Your arms are always open, everyone to enfold.
	You are kind and caring and thoughtful, too,
	Friendliness is just second nature to you;
	You can walk into a room on the coldest days,
	And like magic, it's warmed as if by the suns' rays.
	We can converse without talking,
	Connect without touching;
	We can shed tears about something,
	And laugh about nothing.
	You are starlight and sunshine,
	A friend I'm honored to call mine;
	You're MY EARTHLY ANGEL sent from above,
	For you my heart will always be filled with love.
