My wife and I have a favorite phrase that we share when we’re apart:  “Angels on your body.”  She’ll be back from a business trip to D.C. this evening, so I miss her.  I’m sure, however, that she misses the dogs more than me.  It will be a bark fest when she walks though the door tonight.  Here’s a poem i wrote a few years back that gives meaning to “Angels on your body:”

Angels on Your Body

When you aren’t with me,
You’re always on my mind.
Just how much I miss you,
Words are hard to find.
.
We’re better when together,
With you at my side.
But when we’re apart,
Let an angel be your guide.
.
A kiss goodbye,
We go our separate ways.
We’ll be back together,
In just a few days.
.
Though my arms are empty,
My heart is with you.
Angels on your body,
And on mine, too.
.
A watchful eye,
From above.
Will keep us safe,
And deep in love.
.
Protective Wings,
Hold harm at bay.
A shield of strength,
While you’re away.
.
Angelic assurance,
For a quick return.
My thoughts are with you,
But your touch I yearn.

.

Nobody’s better than you,
No body’s finer than yours.
Until we’re reunited,
Anticipation stirs.
.
Angels on your body,
When I can’t be there.
Though we’re not together,
Loving thoughts we share.
