Wings of the Angel

I look at you,

In your placid sleep

And cannot help

But think an Angel

Came down to Earth

To fill my life

With blissful joy

And sweet tenderness.

I look at you,

When you smile

And I feel the sun

Light up my eyes

And my whole life,

Warming my heart up

With such a pleasant feeling

And caress,

My soul is overflowed

With waves of affection

And strong emotions.

Your eyes are blue skies to me

And they shine like stars

At night,

Scaring all the darkness away,

For since you were born

All my own fears have vanished

For good and forever.

Facing you,

I, who am strong and tough,

Become a young boy again,

Staring at the magnificence

Of an Archangel,

Whose wings open up

To embrace my soul,

And I give myself in

To your beauty

And to the light and power

You surround me with.

When I lay my head

On your little chest,

My life turns into

Something so fragile

And vulnerable,

Before the strong gentleness

Of yours,

That I become the part of you

You have inherited from me 

And I finally realize

We are undoubtedly made

Of the same matter

The heavenly Love is.
