Married To An Angel

I've been married to an angel for more than forty years
and I've learned some things about them
despite my ignorance and fears.

They're always on duty night and day.
Their voices have a softness
which could bend a bar of iron
their skin is softer than a babe's.

They can speak to anyone without the slightest fear.
Their gentle touch can heal.

They are eternal optimists and carry their own light.
They have the willpower of lions
and are always right,
a trait that makes them very difficult to live with
for those of us with only ordinary sight.
