I Found an Angel

I Found and Angel

In dark of morning; pillowed head,

I find an angel in my bed,

Across the silken sea she slips,        

Caressing tender fingertips.

No words expressed in moment’s held,

As wedded hands begin to meld,

Remembered you in bridal dress,

You said, “I do”; my mind said, “Yes!”

And, I, “I do”, “I do”, “I do”,

Nobody else, but only you,

And, for today no trial I’ll dread,

I found an angel in my bed!
