Wingless Angel

Once in a millennium
The heavens dance in welcome
As the planets twirl and sway
And the stars make way
For a special soul to descend
To Earth— a godsend
 
Do human angels exist?
I think I met one, I insist
Intelligent, soft-spoken and shy
A magnificent, fragile butterfly
A heart so pure it shakes the skies
Reflected in those dark, innocent eyes
 
Her sacrifices— I cannot count
Her forgiveness— beyond any amount
A silent sufferer
Full of love; a giver
Imperfect, but perfectly so
An angelic human, you know
 
So believe me, when my heart sings
That not all angels have wings
