Usted Es (mi ángel terrenal)

©Robert C Burnham


You are my Heaven on earth.
You are the stars in my sky
You are the water that soothes my thirst
Given by God though I don't know why.
No, I'm not deserving
I've lived my life all wrong
There are many more days I've been weak
Than there are days I've been strong
Although I've known some blessings
I am not a wealthy man
But now you are my treasure
And for you I'll be the best I can

You are my rainbow of promise
You are all that I need
You are the light from all my darkness
A gift from God, given free
But in my own heart I know
That I must apply a cost
To live honest, to live right
You are my salvation from the lost
And now I know you're my purpose
The reason that I breathe
You are my earthly angel
Whom I will never leave.

You are my Heaven on earth
You are the stars in my sky
You are the water that soothes my thirst
Given by God and now I know why.

I reckon this is for the lady of my dreams, once we finally bump into one another.......... (and perhaps we already have)
Angela A. Dec 4, 2008, 11:36am EST
Aw, how lovely!
We angels, thank you, wink.
Seriously, Robert, this is great.
It tis a pity, that I'm happy with my hubby.
Bless, you, dear.

Ahh, madmoiselle (sp?) K-E-O you made me remember my days in French class. Perhaps if the French damsel teaching had been a little older than 24, a little heavier than svelte, with no blue eyes or hair of blonde, I may have paid more attention to the lesson.

Of course, Madame Gallant WAS married to the Chief of Police so she only remained a fantasy. I am hoping the object of this poem proves more.
Solskin Iam Dec 4, 2008, 12:13pm EST
so beautiful......i do hope you find her.....
Kathryn E. Dec 4, 2008, 12:19pm EST
ah........................she should have been a true Mademoiselle and a belle tresor pour tous les temps...comment les meilleurs jeunes filles francaises, et mes modelles...

"a true mademoiselle and a beautiful trearure for all temps, like the best young french women and my models."

Hey up there Tracy ... I was thinking the same thing :)
