Only an Angel

I knew she was special
right from the start
For only an angel
Could capture his heart

An angel with eyes
of palest sky blue
The depth of an ocean
a radiant hue

He gave her his soul
His tender sweet love
All that he is
he gave to a dove

With hair of spun gold
and skin smooth as cream
She is his vision
She is his dream

She opened her heart
and shared all her tears
poured out her soul
and shared all her fears

She gave him a tune
and made his heart sing
She held out her hand
He gave her his ring

I know that her heart
has been wounded and marred
Hurt and betrayed
and savagely scarred

I saw neath her surface
Beneath where she hides
We all need protection
Till the pain does subside

Hiding in shadows
of childhood sorrows
Looking for solace
and better tomorrows

Shedding her veil
revealing her soul
lives a beautiful woman
with a heart made of gold

I knew she was special
right from the start
For only an angel
Could capture his heart
