Angel Of Mine

 

We recognize an angel when he has passed by us.

                                                             - Martin Buber

 

Angel of mine

Guardian

don’t go away

too far afield

 

I want to have

protection

under Your Wing

snuggle

into It

 

Translated Into English By Anna Maria Stępień

While seeking the happiness and the good of others,

we find them for ourselves.

                                         -Plato

 

Show me

Your Mercy

 

Please

give me

the shortest possible

distance

to the Finish Line

 

And I

one more time will

sacrifice myself

 

For the happiness

of a Woman

I will give my life

 

Translated Into English By Anna Maria Stępień
