i said a love prayer, but no one was there to hear
so i climbed into my bed
just so that i could rest my aching head.
i fell asleep right away
and flashes of love in my mind did play.

i saw a figure floating down to me
my eyes strained hard so that i could see.
the most beautiful sight i had ever saw
was knocking at my hearts door.

she said: you have asked for love in prayer
and you will get it- this i swear.
this love that you seek
you will see in a week.

i responded: are you an angel?
she smiled and said: how did you know!
she touched her back and
out sprouted her wings.
my eyes began to flutter
my heart began to sing.
for i had finally found
the perfect everything.

i awoke that morning wide eyed and refreshed.
and feeling at my very best.
it was sunday so to church i would go.

the church bell rang and we started inside
when i felt someone bump me on my side.
as i turned- there she was
the angel that came from above.
'i'm sorry' she said and gave me a smile.

now you can guess how this story ends.

she became my lover, confidant, wife and friend.
