I Dreamed I Was An Angel
Folder:
Angels I dreamed I was an angel
And I watched you wrapped in sleep.
Your dreams were kind, I could tell.
You slept so safe and deep.
I caressed your chestnut hair
And, you breathed a gentle sigh.
Did you sense that I was there?
Would you hear me if I cry?
I walked the silent room,
Brushed a dragon on the floor,
Sensed the fairies in the gloom,
Saw warm light under the door.
I prayed your sweet gentleness
Would never face the pain
Of loneliness and darkness,
Of love's loss and love's disdain.
I cried to God to let me be
Your angel every night
And let you be so near to me
To keep you free from plight.
I prayed that you would keep
Your fairies and your wolves.
That dragons would always sleep
Among your books and shelves.
As I watched you deeply dream,
There was no reason to fear.
The warm light I saw, would mean
Daddy angel was still near.
