My Angels

Do not mistake the pain in my eyes as the only sign of life,
I smile and laugh- and not always hollowly or forced.
There is a quiet joy that resides in my wandering, restless heart…
A spark of happiness that at times, brings tears of gladness to my eyes,
As I realize that I have been blessed with two lovely angels in my life.
They can with a smile, drive away every dark thought or circumstance,
And turn my sadness into joy with their gentle, innocent laughter.
When I see the love in their beautiful brown eyes- there is nothing I fear,
There's nothing that I couldn't do or no pain too great to bear- for them.
They are the two cords that tie my soul to this wretched world,
Tie but not bind…
Every hope I have is realized in them, in every dream they are the stars that shine,
Like the moon and North Star, they bring this dark knight enough light too see…
That pure love and true faith exist- living in the hearts of children.
