My Angel.

[Kitosdad]

There's an angel standing by my bed,
I see it every night.
It's always there beside my bed
When I turn off my light.

It says I've had a good long life,
But now it's time to go ,
But I say that I'm not yet ready,
It smiles and says,"I know".

It says I'll give you one more day,
To put the wrong things right.
I make a list, my mind a whirl,
I've got to make this right.

I just can't list my every fault,
The things that I've done wrong,
But somewhere in my history,
That's where they all belong.

So I ask the Lord for mercy,
For the things I should have done,
And I thank Him for his blessing,
Of a daughter and a son.

For other things I'll take the blame,
For I am but a man,
And my errors have been many,
But I've never, ever ran.

I've faced life's pain and sorrow,
I've taken all I can,
And now I'll go to meet Him,
For I am but a man.

Kitos.

Glad to see your poem, Kitos. I would say, you act so quick. Thank you for share.
The angel is your cat, kito, isn't it?
Obviously, I am not a qualified English master let alone a poet, and I can not totally understand the expression you use.
What does 'a daughter and a son' imply? Do you mind interpreting it for me, please?

[Kitosdad]

SHOULD BE WHERE..................... Ooppppsss.

Thanks. I've written so much today.
The ideas are just streaming through my head.
Taking advantage before they dry up.

Daughter and son, is exactly what it says. I thank the Lord for the gift of my daughter and son.

The angel is an angel, not my cat. :)

Thank you so much for your input. I love being asked questions.

Kitos.

Nice poem, I like it, I wish if I could write like you, kitos :)
Yes we all will meet God! but no one knows when he/she will leave this world!
I can guess the angel who come to you every night is the memories of your life, right?

[Kitosdad]

Nawar,you can write just like me. All you lack is a little vocabulary, and I'm sure you could find the words that you lack easily in a dictionary.

Just think of a theme and start writing. Your imagination will conjure up the rest.
