Angel in Disguise
Angel In Disguise
From the very first moment I laid eyes on you, I saw an Angel in disguise.
An angel so good and pure, that you made all the other Angels jealous.
In you, I saw an Angel so great, that your earthly costume could not consume it.
It shown through, clear as day, like a lighthouse appears to a boat in a storm.
Like my shadow, you have been there through everything since we have met.
Through all the good times, which I have had many, mainly because of you.
As well as through all the bad times, which I have also had many.
Not only have you been there for me, but more importantly, you have been there with me.
Through all my good and bad, even when not in the flesh, I knew you were with me.
Watching over me, guiding me, protecting me from my biggest enemy, myself.
I have often wondered what I did to deserve somebody like you.
With your undying, unquestionable love, trust and loyalty to me.
I do not understand it, it does not make sense, yet, not much in life does.
I also have wondered why you continue to hang around.
You treat me like I mean the world to you, yet I turn around and treat you like the world.
I know I am a hard person to get along with, and that is why it is so hard for me to understand.
I can be very distrusting and cynical about anything and everything, and I usually am.
Yet, you continue to stay around, despite my obviously best efforts to drive you away.
However, I want you to know that words cannot begin to express how much you mean to me.
Some people may pray and give thanks to God for good fortune, good health, or good family.
I pray and give thanks to God for bringing me you, my wonderful Angel in disguise.
