For my Angel

An Angel came into my life
To help me clearly see
Beyond the dead end which I viewed
As the future meant for me

My heart once broken down
Now has found a loving beat
And I owe it to my Angel
Was it our destiny to meet?

I have often been informed
That God does have a plan
But I tend to be a skeptic
A doubtful sort of man

Though lately I’ve been feeling
That my thoughts should be confessed
There must be something Holy
For me to feel so blessed

So for those of you who know me
And think this rather odd
I am thankful for my Angel
Who was sent to me from God.

I love you, BV!

Blueviolet- I didn't mean to make you cry. I just wanted you to know how special that you are to me. I love you, dearly!

Who are you and what have you done with Otin??????? This is so sweet, seeing what the love of a good woman can do to a man! Fun to watch all that talent you have heading in a different direction.

Unknown Mami said...

Enjoy your blessings.

The Retired One said...

What I love most about life is the surprises during our journey...I am so happy for the two of you..that is just great!

California Girl said...

are you two going to get married or what? let's just get down to the nitty gritty.

Respectfully Yours said...

In keeping with the tone of the lovely poem above. If there is a wedding, please accept this gift as your wedding song...from me to you...it was our wedding song...Otin, you know the story.

I love the moments when we can't explain events or people in our lives are circumstance...
I'm seriously happy for you!

gaelikaa said...

Hey Otie, you old romantic you! You're full of surprises!

Green-Eyed Momster said...

I think we met through her so there must be something divine going on. ;)

I'm so happy for you both. I hope you know how happy I am for you two.....

Pat said...

And to think we were all here from the beginning. *sigh* Makes us all proud. :)

You two are TOO cute! So happy for you both!

Matty said...

Blue Violet and love have had quite an effect on you. All for the better too.

♥Georgie♥ said...

I am In tears! I just lost my daddy...well I didnt loose him...he went to heaven....but this was just beautiful....I am leaving here speechless

Dianne said...

hi, not knowing you other than your startling writing, I must say that cute spelled backwards is...
etuc! eee-tyuuuuuck! just kidding, I love your writing and Brotin. I think love is the most flammable substance known to man if captured.

Ekanthapadhikan said...

This comes as a surprise to me. As said by you, this is something very much unexpected from a sceptical guy like you. Never the less, I'm happy for you both and pray to God for you both to be blessed!

5thsister said...

May God continue to shower you and Blue with blessings well deserved. My hope is that everyone would somehow be able to find and share a love such as yours.

sheri... said...

otin, it's what every woman dreams of but learns to go without...to know that her man really loves her and that he sees her as a precious gift. you really stepped out on a vulnerable limb to share this with us but we gals applaud you for it...way to go, otin!!

Misty said...

very beautiful poem!

TechnoBabe said...

It is a wonder to behold watching a young man find warm and loving feelings to express as you travel the road of true love. You are so worth it and so is your wondrous woman. Together you make a strong point for people to keep looking for their soul mate. Not the romantic movie fiction love, but the accepting and encouraging and helping each other to grow better love. So glad you found it.

Felicitas said...

True love is most certainly Divine! No tears here... you two just make me smile.

The Good Cook said...

I am a great believer in Fate. It was fate that you two got together - and you could not have met before you did - it would not have worked. Each of you had to go through what you needed to go through in order to be able to love and appreciate the other. Life is funny like that. Blessings to you both!

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

Awwwww! That is so sweet! Blueviolet sure brings out the best in you, doesn't she? :) It's so cool you both found each other! :)

ReformingGeek said...

Aw, that's just way too sweet for this early in the morning.


;-)

What a nice way to express your feelings.

AmyLK said...

So happy for you two! Beautiful words, Otin.

mo.stoneskin said...

You didn't mean to make BV cry perhaps, but what about poor little old me huh?!

Drahdrah said...

Finding love can make a believer out of the biggest skeptic... I am so glad you found each other and that you are finding some faith Otin ! What a beautiful poem for your beautiful love !

CatLadyLarew said...

Are you sure you're still an atheist, Otin? Sounds like you've found God along with your Angel!

gayle said...

Beautiful poem!! I am sure BV is loving it so much!!! Can't wait to meet you both!!! Don't stop writing things like that to/for her!! You are both very lucky to have found each other!!

Maggie said...

Ah!! This was very beautiful Otin!! You both are very blessed to have found each other!!

Ronda Laveen said...

Angels are here with us all the time. You just gave proof!

The Urban Cowboy said...

Now that is what living life is all about! So happy for the both of you.

Respectfully Yours said...

Hey there. Come on over and visit me. I tagged you in a fun picture game. Maybe your pic will feature a sneak peak at the lovely couple, Otin and BV....

Joanna Jenkins said...

Chris@Knucklehead! said...

Dude. I don't know if the world is ready for a kinder, gentler Otin.

Happy for you, though.

Mighty M said...

This is why God invented the internet -, not Al Gore! So glad the internet exists so there is a world in which you two were able to meet, you so clearly love each other and belong together. I just hope I get invited to the wedding because I really like cake.

And you two, of course. :)

Jill said...

I am smiling BROADLY as I have "watched/read" your transformation Otin! PURE PLEASURE to know that you have found love. AND, God is most certainly responsible dear man...MOST CERTAINLY!
Enjoy.

Tracie said...

Did BV tell you that I dreamed I was at your wedding?

I really did.

I think I'm spending too much time online.

Raven said...

What a lovely poem. I'm glad that you two are so happy together!

Adoption of Jane said...

Ya'll are so cute, i'm gonna cry too!

Otter Thomas said...

You guys are like an online fairly tale come true. Good for you.

Frugal Vicki said...

Oh my gosh, this made me tear up. It was truly beautiful. You write what you feel very very well!

darsden said...

Amen Brother Otin... Amen!!! So happy for you two.
