Desperately, I prayed for salvation
Some help to mend my damaged protection
Lo and behold, she came to my rescue
While preventing much embarrassment due
Stitch by stitch, the angel did patiently
Never knew heaven could be so homely
Stealing glances while feigning ignorance
Sitting quietly is quite a penance
Curiously, she drinks not sweet drinks offered
Instead, giving to those not intended
Perhaps, angels are already too sweet
No need to further enchant those they meet
Finally the miracle is complete
Pure gratitude is all I can concede
Shyly, I pack away my restored pride
Buttons sewed back, clothes I no longer hide
