An angel

I met a person ones,
a true and righteous person.
It was an angel,
a real angel that came down to earth
to find a soul mate.
But no one saw.

Everyone was too busy
to see who was really there.
The fine qualities in this person.
The kindness,
the humour,
the love,
this person had
that you could recieve.
But no one saw.

This angel had chosen to be a human,
to not have a gloria,
to not have wings.
This person thought that someone would see the angel within,
the inner shine.
But no one saw.

The angel got frustrated,
angry.
Why couldn´t a true angel find love,
when humans can?
How come they can´t see inside of me?
The angel tried to show the real person inside,
the true love that could flow.
But still no one understood what they could get.
No one saw.

After endless attempts to understand,
to get someone to understand,
this angel surrendered to dispair.
No hope was left,
no one gave any hope at all.
All was dark now,
home seemed like the only place to be.
Earth wasn´t worthy a true angel.

When no one saw,
then why would the angel see?
When no one gave any love,
why would the angel give away love?
The angel decided to show the real inside,
the real angel to the world and see if it made a difference.
Now everyone saw.

Angels are real,
angels are true,
you could here from the chorus of the crowd.
Now everyone wanted a piece of the cake.
Why didn´t you try before?
Why can´t you see what´s right in front of you?
The angel made the people understand the dispair of beeing lonely,
trying to love but get non in return.
Now they saw
and now they were sorry.

But it was too little,
too late.
The angel had lived on earth for an entire year,
with nothing but rejection in return
for kindness,
for humour,
for love.
A lesson was learned,
a knowledge that all should already have had.

You don´t see the angel until he really shines.
