Angel

You are my Angel.
Heaven sent guardian you blessed me with your protection.
Convinced me that I was beautiful,
introduced me to new things
and showed me how to be everything that I could be.
I owe you this.
Without you I would’ve never found my pen.
Would’ve never been able to create the pieces I’ve written.
You took the time to converse with me
about the verses that flow through me
and I thank you.
You were there being my mother when my mother wasn’t there.
Not that she didn’t want to be
just that she couldn’t
but you could
so you held me.
Told me that she loved me,
showed me how it would feel to have her here.
But you never wanted to take her place
just wanted to hold one by her and love me.
Even though I questioned it at first
I let you in.
And in you I found someone that I could always confide in
I found someone that loved everything about me,
and though sometimes it may feel like I don’t always show it,
you mean the world to me.
I am thankful…
I can’t explain how much I love the fact that you are here.
You are my backbone.
Without you I would crumble,
lose the light at the end of my life’s tunnel.
You showered me with this strange thing called affection,
and broke me out of my shell of shyness.
Showed me how silence would be the death of me,
welcomed me into your family,
and I gained 2 beautiful sisters and 2 wonderful brothers that love me.
Role models that show me how to be a woman and what a man should be.
Gained nieces and nephews that are blossoming beautifully,
becoming people that I feel blessed to know
Gained a grandmother that is drenched in strength, wisdom, and beauty…
I gained a real family
You are exactly what me and my father needed.
You deal with our issues
and I know that we don’t always show our appreciation,
but we were bred differently.
I’m sorry
I know that sometimes you get tired of carrying the world on your shoulders
but I’m ready to help you.
I realize now that even angels need help cleaning their wings…
And since it was me that helped tarnished them,
I will be first in line to make them white again.
You are my angel
Earthbound and humble
I am grateful.
You have chosen to be right here despite everything that I do.
I guess it’s safe to say…
I love you.
