Surrounded by Angels

Surrounded by angels,
are we all,

unknowingly in contact 
day to day,

but you were so blind
you couldn't see

that I was to you sent
from heaven above.

Out to you I reached  
time and again,

and you saw these wings 
that would carry you away,

but did not believe
that they were real.

At your door I stood
and knocked and again,

though you would not let me in,
behind your secret walls.

The time, it came, for me to fly,
my mission having failed,
back to heaven from where I came,

and as you watched me fly away
your eyes, you could not believe

for these wing of mine were real
as was my mission, sent to you.

And as upon high I did ascend 
you could only wish 
that you could have seen

this place by my side
where you were 
always meant to be.
