Courage of the Spirit

Angel Story.
Moonlight shone throught the window
as by the bed she stood.
Her hair long and golden hangs softly by her cheek,
a smile upon her angelic face.
Her eyes filled with pure unconditional love
as she gently touched the sleeping child's face.
The child's eyes open, then close
They open again and she sits up with a fright.
She rubs her eyes and looks at the figure by her side.
"Do not be afraid for I am here to protect you !"
says the gentle voice.
The child smiles and then says "Alright!"
They embrace in a loving hug.
The child lays down, smiles and says "Goodnight!"
The angel smiles and stays by her side.
And now each night they two meet again
for now the sweet child
 can see her guardian angel again.
