ANGEL
A pair of Chelsea boots,
A floral Gucci suit.
Fingers with polished nails
And wore a couple of rings.
Left arm covered in tattoos
Of a heart and a ship and an anchor,
Right as clear as water.
Chest filled with birds and butterfly.
Sea green eyes with the brightest shine,
But cried more than any other eye
Smile that lit up everyone’s world
With a deep dimple of joy,
But one of those which hid the deepest secrets.
Heart so pure, that when one touched it,
Her hand would cover in gold,
But had faced the most pain.
A man with a dream
A man with hope
Who saved millions and more.
Truly said he was
An angel
Whom the world needed and had
But didn’t deserve anymore.
