A modified Lauranelle to celebrate my guiding Angels

Ode to Angels

by JLR

Pleasing Angels, you inspire me to write
Make my words honored be, and well-received,
Loving, longing, seeing your smile bright.
 

Prevailing on my mind, not  to deceive.

dreaming about the days' wanting retreat.
Let me compare you to which I do cleave.
 
More precious, beatific, life's great treat.
Sheer fogs hide the oceans of November,

and autumntime holds to sunrays last heat.
 
Adoring you, I watch the last ember.
I love how your wings fold, flowing, glowing.
Thinking of your light, wanting to pamper.
 
Now, I must away with a heart knowing
Remember my words whilst we're apart!

Angelic, sign might you well be glowing.
 
Wander, stumbling, tumbling, cascade, I start!
but be it my faith in God, it is so!
I tremble, the loss, for I now take heart.
 
Thus, not allowing others ever know,
never telling of the Angelic show!
Pleasing Angels, you inspire me to write
Loving, longing, seeing your smile bright.
