My Special Angel

My Special Angel
by Rich Reith

I thought I knew an angels look
So I didn't mean to stare,
I thought that I knew angels
Till I saw you standing there.

Your feet in sand, your arms stretched out
You had that special grace,
And though there was no halo
Heaven shone out from your face.

And only angels shine that way.
And I know that heaven meant
For me to clearly understand
That you were heaven sent.

And you may think that I see things
Through the clouded eyes of love,
But you alone are the one I know
Is my gift from up above.
