Water becomes Mermaid: I AM A Diamond in the Sky

Saturday, July 21, 2012

You were shining in the mid-night sky;

You were shining bright and pretty.

As I looked at the mid-night sky,

You looked back at me;

Staring as if you had never seen anything like me.

I looked at my angel and he smiled back at me.

Can I have that?, I asked;

Can I have that beautiful Star, just for Me?

My angel plucked you from the mid-night sky,

and placed you in my palm;

You just sat there and I stared at you,

because I'd never seen anything like this.

My angel held my palm against my chest;

You jumped into my heart and stayed there, to this day.

Every night as mid-night draws,

I peep into my heart and stare at you;

I've never seen anything like you before,

So bright and so pretty.

I take you out of my heart and place you on my palm;

So I can stare at you a little longer,

before I fall off to sleep.

As I feel you in my palm, glowing in the mid-night hour,

My heart begins to feel warmer;

and I place you back into my heart,

and in peace I sleep, through the dark night hours;

Knowing, trusting, feeling your presence in my heart;

I know you'll be there when dawn comes;

and I'll wait for another mid-night, so I can see you glow

and shine through my heart.

Every time I see you glow, I thank my angel for his gift;

I thank my angel, for he plucked a star just for me.

Off the mid-night skies, my angel plucked a star

and he placed it in a red, heart-shaped box, just for me.

He then wrapped a golden ribbon around my heart;

and I unwrap you every night, before I go to sleep.

You shine all night through my heart, as I sleep;

Bright and pretty, my angel plucked you, just for me.
