'My Golden Angel' - this is really lovely .............

I think I saw an Angel, In my house last night; She was sitting in my bedroom, When I turned off the light. She was elegantly simple, In a gown of golden mesh, Which glittered in the moonlight, That shone upon her dress.
Soft, golden threaded wings, Fluttered 'round her haloed head; I could barely see them move, As I looked out from my bed.
Oh, so tiny ... so petite, Was I sure that she was there? I took another little peek, And saw her perched upon my chair.
For a moment I was frightened, Yet, I felt assurance, too; I wanted then to pick her up, But my body would not move.
"Is she my Angel, God?" I asked, "Of course she is," He said; "And in the dark of night, She is always by your bed.
"In the daylight hours, She often perches on an ear; Everyone has Angels, And they are always near."
So I lay quite still and watched her, As she fluttered 'round the place; Soon she came up on my pillow, And I swear she brushed my face.
Then, as I watched, she disappeared, She completely left my sight; I lay there just an instant, Then turned on my bedroom light.
I looked into my dresser mirror, And on the cheek that she had brushed, Was the tiny imprint of a kiss, That felt warm when I touched.
Then I looked about the room, And what did my eye behold ... But there upon my pillow case, Was a tiny thread of gold.
