Welcome to Vanessa's Poetry website!

This is my favourite poem of all that I've written so far.  I wrote this at the end of an extremely difficult time for me.  It was about a nurse, who helped me practically and mentally, with counselling, put a really bad few months behind me.

The Work of my Angel

At the end of my coping
At my falling apart
The work of my angel
Repaired my poor heart

She took me from darkness
Fear and despair
In the midst of my suffering
She answered my prayer

Her career, my angel
Took away my pain
She took me from heartache
That was sending me insane

She made such a difference
To my world, to my mind
She's truly an angel
Of the heaven-sending kind
