Each day thoughts of her saturate my mind with nothing but love,

No matter what I’m doing at day’s end she is what I am think of,

It’s been this way since I was seventeen and I want it to remain,

You’ve been my escape from earths reality that has induced pain,

In the darkness of night I can slip away into your arms and run away,

When all is wrong you bring the colors of the rainbow in heavens display,

Not a drop of water in sight but I can sit on the dock alone with her until two,

When the world is dark gray to black she and her sunshine turn the sky blue,

Images of her have traveled my mind each day since I was an innocent man,

Like the colors of the rainbow there’s a million different memories to remain,

Maybe one day she will see me for the memories of her my heart contains,

A million thoughts of her that saved me when when only death remains,

I’ve danced in her arms when my legs couldn’t stand because of dislocation,

I’d hold her tight in my imagination and dance through the night in my location,

The smell of waste faded away in my imagination as she’d enter my life station,

Only she, my little angle could lift my soul away from the horror of wars creation,

Look away, look away from horror of war that my memories bring to life,

It’s a long, long way from that day yet a memory can place me into the strife,

But the last thing I see each day are the hazel eyes of the angel on my heart,

The angel in my heart has held my mind in check when I couldn’t find will to start,

The morning sun would come from her soul as she would wake me from sleep,

Memories of so much love have placed my heart within hers to hold and keep,

One kiss from her lips can resuscitate my mind to dwell in the joys of today,

And with that my heart rejoices, I know this angel in my heart is here to stay.
