A Life of Searching

An angel forged in stone,
Yes, that’s what I’ve been,
Throughout my time, a constant fight,
Waiting for my life to begin.

Along came a soldier,
Not the kind that battle war,
A more gentle, caring creature,
Just glided through the door.

Eyes of fire and hope,
A body built for protection,
A heart so strong, yet fragile,
Just right for intense affection.

He caught me off-guard,
This was not what I was expecting,
Though, throughout this life,
For this, I had been searching.
