The Angel


A piece that I wrote for my darling cousin's wedding card, on behalf of her parents:

she fluttered her eyes open, looked up at us
our little angel, enchanting and divine
it was a special day

it was a new world
unspoken without her chuckles,
incomplete without the sound of her anklets

today she looks up at us, we see the maiden
her kohl eyes, a new glint
her anklets, a new ring

it is a special day
