Misty Angelita

With Misty Angelita given,
I knew I’d found a part of Heaven.
Her sparkling eyes, and infant charms;
Her precious warmth curled in my arms.
~ ~ ~
I gazed upon her as she slept,
And such enchantment o’er me crept!
She gave her smiles, her giggles’ chime,
Our lives were love; the love our time.
~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~
Then came a cold and anguished day,
My cherished one faded away.
I searched her dear and lovely face
Without a breath ... still full of grace.
~ ~ ~
Now yet my vision from within
Still brings her sweet to me again.
But while my tender vigil keeps,
My baby sleeps ... my baby sleeps.
