BLOOM

Bloom

“Look at me.’ An angel said

Wings golden like the sun

I can fly and you can too

Don’t wait until your life is done

Fly through bad times and the good

Fly through sadness and the smiles

Spread your wings,  soar on through

The steps in life that turn to miles

Open hearts and open arms

Will get you past chaotic days

Open minds and present thoughts

Ensure happiness is here to stay

“Look at me now.” The angel smiled

Wings lined in silver like a cloud

I can swim above the tides

Hear me sing and hear me loud

No ocean is ever spread so far

That you cannot find a way to swim

Climb a mountain, take a dive

I can promise that you will win

All the things in life that count

Are the things that pass the hours

Like the pleasure of a friend

Who with you smells the flowers

“Open your eyes,” the angel sang

Walk on over to a mirror

See that smile; tender, sweet…

That’s

The

One

That

Gets

You

Nearer…

To all you ever wanted

Dream about

Spend your thinking of

Sometimes ignoring

Pretending it is not really there.

Where?

Here…

Like they say:

Under your nose

Simply blooming

Waiting to be acknowledged.

The angel vanished but never left

It sits pretty on your shoulder

If some days are filled with pain

Reach to the right and really hold her
