Portrait of an Angel

PORTRAIT OF AN ANGEL
By Rodney Ronquillo

When I see your face
There's more to what one could see
For only the eyes of a believing creature on earth
Will see the face of a heaven-sent

Your presence before me
Is an eternal presence sculpted
From reference of an angel
Created in the most beautiful way

And to hear your voice
Is an eternal sound crafted
From refernce of a composition
Sung by a solo Angel in the choirs of heaven

Take one away
Take away none
If only to hold you
To suddenly become one

When I see you here
Standing before me now
It is an open door to the one I adore
Leads to a path of eternity

Walk with you
Walk with me
In my mind
For eternity

And before I die
Just one more glance
At the portrait of your face
That both our eyes will dance
And left only to imagination
Can one impression find in part
That your portrait as an Angel
Will you forver be in my heart.
