An Angel's Heart

Your heart is a house
that feels like a home -
safe and warm,
filled with love and protection.

I don't know where you came from,
and I don't know why you chose me,
but I knew you were an angel
so I prayed for you to stay.

A little at a time,
you cracked the concrete -
breaking through my wall
and slowly reaching my heart.

And I don't know where you came from,
or why you are still here,
but I will keep on praying
that you will stay near.
