                               By Howard M-B Maximus

A flock of beautifully flawed angels flew into my hollow existence;

They were of all shapes and sizes; sex, race and ages.

Their eyes littered my life in caring persistence;

They were my guardian angels, in all my life’s stages.

They made me laugh, they made me mad, and they made me cry;

They held me back sometimes; sometimes they let me dive;

They kicked me low; and they raised me high;

Unending strives to make me feel alive.

They broke my heart; they stayed up all night mending it;

I hate them sometimes; and yet I love them endlessly.

They make my life worth living; every tiny bit.

My God-sent beautifully flawed angels- My friends; my family!
