Angel
Christopher Gordon Williams 1953 (Hobart)
My daughter Michelle
My sweetest darling angel
So as it is above so below
I hope I express, paternal love show.
Who is to be my future bride?
Love of whom I fight & strive
Beautiful like a rare seashell
Is it the lovely Melangel?
Love raised on the tones of Delta
Providing love’s true hearts shelter
Doing all honour to that I believe in
For her heart I strive to win.
