With the grace of floating angels,
a savoir comes to me
Cleansing first my troubled soul,
opening my eyes to see
Breathing life into my lungs,
with a light she shows the way
Warming as the morn begins,
then guides me through my day
Protecting me from harm,
she walks beside in my life
Always cautious, vigilant;
to keep me free from strife
Watching as I sleep the night,
guarding when I dream
Ever serving to protect me,
so my life may be serene
One who’s always giving,
and never does ask in return
For this my blood is filled with fire,
for only her I yearn

Ever serving to protect me,
so my life may be serene
One who’s always giving,
and never does ask in return
For this my blood is filled with fire,

Wowie! This is sheer brilliance! I loved every line. Awesome write here, man! Thanks so much for the share! (Did you know there's a movie called Angel Eyes starring Jennifer Lopez? It's really good.)
Best wishes and good luck in the contest!
