The Most Beautiful of All God's Angels

Do you see that girl,
The one in the corner?
She came in every day
And sat at that same place.
I watched for her,
Just hoping to catch
A glimpse of Heaven.
Yes, that she is -
An angel,
A special piece of Heaven.
She's so beautiful,
So pure,
But yet she always looked
So sad and lonely.

I wondered what she thought about
When she sat there on her own,
Staring out the window
At the world passing by.
I'd have given anything to find out
How that gorgeous mind of hers ticked.

One day when she was done staring
And she got up to leave,
I saw those blue-green eyes,
Glistening with tears.
I just wanted to run up to her,
And hold her,
Run my fingers through her lovely dark hair
And tell her everything would be okay.
I wanted to wipe the tears
Out of those perfect eyes;
I wanted to kiss all the pain away.

But while these images
Conjured themselves in my head,
She walked out the door
Into the faceless crowd.
Would I ever have the guts
To tell her how I feel;
To tell her that she's the
Most Beautiful girl in the world;
To tell her I wanted her to be mine?
Oh, who am I kidding?
She wouldn't be interested
In the likes of me.

But, alas, I was wrong.
She walked back inside
And placed her arms around my neck..
She said she had seen me
Staring at her every day,
And that she knew
That the flowers on her table
And the poems on her napkins
Were meant for only her.
She said she'd cried after
Reading each line,
Because she felt that this
Was the man of her dreams.
And when she figured out
That I had written them,
She knew I was the one.

I am the happiest man alive
Because I have this beautiful girl at my side.
The most beautiful of all God's angels
Is mine to love.
And love her I will.
Iâ??ll take care of her
Like no one else can.
Iâ??ll love her
In a way she has never known.
I will respect her
As though she is a princess
And I will treat her like that
Perfect, pure angel that she is...
