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."

Inspired, by an blank canvas, in a friends studio,
I created a painting of it, 
 a new bigger Angel
Electric Blue,
but I left it, when I moved.
Yet, carried the Post card with me.

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 and 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.
10 years, since we spoke last. 

(I had to have success. And not more loss.)

He had no idea, I'd be there. He said he had something he'd been saving in case I ever saw him again. "You're gonna love it!" he said. As I cried.



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.
