little angel, i desire to say something;
please do listen to it dearly
for it is a little fragile thing to bring
in a conversation of formality.

little angel, i haven't written in a year
to you and to the one you look after;
please forgive me, this showed my fear
as i can rhyme quickly but not any better.

little angel, i earnestly wish to tell you
how difficult it is to hate your presence,
not solely on how justly and sincerely you
held him together; then comes his absence.

dear little angel, may i never forget
how they were almost always forbidden,
how more certain and rightful it is to let
you, as my angel, watch over me than. . .

love me.
