A Heaven

about an angel... and not one from above

i know it isn't my halo, my gift of compassion,
my heart of pure gold
when i question the existence of all of the above
but here i am anyway
in some kind of heaven
one i've heard of yet never seen before
i pinch myself over and again
asking if this is real
asking myself all of these questions
trying to explain the unexplainable
how I came to be in a heaven like this
one you have created
without hands, without a godliness
just the purest of mankind
and a soul that rivals all others
what a rare gift you are
a slice of heaven in a human
sent down to earth for me
