Aspiring Angel

She aspires to be an angel

but she is already there

The view from my angle

I am about to share.



I see a lady that knows

what it is to give

Inspiring others with her words

to go forward and live.

That in lifes long stairs,

Life may not always be fair

But for every bump in the road

There will be highs to lighten the load.



Rough times, she has had her share

But she survives and makes us aware.

Her tenacity in the face of interminable odds

rewards us with poems, always a good job.



An aspiring angel, she strives to be,

But she already is an angel to me.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

To Lesa for all the inspiration she has given us and to her husband for sharing her with us.

Beautiful poem. I'm sure she'll flattered by this and maybe this time you inspired her. It would be an interesting read to read her response to you in poem form. If she has done this, let me know.

My Dear, Dear Friend,

I cannot tell you what it has meant to me to read your words and I surely wish that I could live up to all of them. I will admit that it is hard right now, and no day could have been better for me to find this beautiful surprise. I go through daily, a whole range of emotions and some of them far from being befitting to an Aspiring Angel. It takes good friends like yourself to help keep me grounded. I thank you so much Huck for thinking about me and writing this lovely poem. It is nice to know that even in Cyber space there are friends that think about me, care about me, and pray in my behalf. I thank you so much!
