Angel of Forgiveness 

"I saw an Angel on a postcard Playing a lute,
I loved that Angels truth,
I heard that Angels song.
I carried it with me  from that day on ~

Angel of Forgiveness Song

"Angel, Carry me home, 
see me through,
I want to be closer to you."

That night,
I created a painting of it, 
 a bigger Angel,
Electric Blue.
In the morning,
I left it, when I moved.

and with me through the rain,
I carried my Postcard in a Dollar Glass frame.

I hung it on an Empty wall besides
a yellow Dress,

tired, needing to find rest,
I packed it up and left.

Face Reflected in Water

"I had been beaten down, I had no home  
I felt defeated, nowhere to go.

"Angel, carry me home, see me through
I want to be closer to you."

 "So I called up my father, a Soldier in my past.

20 years, since we spoke last. 


He had no idea, I'd be there.
"I have something I've been saving, he said,
in case I ever saw you, my daughter, again.
"You're gonna love it!".

I met him on 6th Ave. to ask him for a bed. 


My life was in danger my eyes said,


His were disguised by years of tough life,
as he handed me a bag.

Hand Holding Shopping Bag

" And there within my arms was my Angel,
My Angel with the lute,

Gilded Gold Antique Print her father handed her in a hefty bag.

But it was Antique Gold and Bigger too. 

My Angel of Forgiveness, my Angel of Truth.


"I am not beaten,
I have a song,

I'm not defeated ~
Somewhere to go.

"Angel carried me Home."

Below is a first Angel sketch -

1986: She found a print in a closet. Inspired with hope,

she sketched it through the night. She found her estranged father, tried to remind him of his innocence and for a few years he agreed to send more Angels, even after saying,

"I'm no good, I killed people in the war, she knew he was. Good. After all, he found, gave away and I suppose believed in Angels.
