She Looks Like An Angel Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

With the sun’s golden rays
shining through the window
she is still asleep
with her blonde curly hair spread like a fan
over the pillow
and her face is almost covered
and she looks like an angel out of heaven
and I wonder what life holds for her.

There is a silent prayer in my heart
that God may lead her all of her life
and that He will protect her
against all of the bad things that life hold
and that the angels will guard over her.

When she wakes up she opens her eyes
and there is a naked kind of innocence
that is caught up in them
and I pray that it will stay there for a while
and that she won’t experience
the bad things of life yet.

She reaches out to me
to be picked up
and she makes me feel as if I am
the most important person in the world
and I pray that I will never disappoint her
as she at this moment
is an extension of myself.
