Have I Found My Soldier?

A soldier was sent to be in a war that no one understood. He lay awake at night thinking of all the things he missed at home. He never saw her but he felt her presence with him every night as he drifted off to sleep and to dream of home. His Guardian Angel watched over him, and she would help him sleep by kissing his forehead every night. She would hover above him and watch her soldier sleep. She admired his bravery, and his beauty. One night as he was drifting somewhere between sleep and awake she noticed he seemed to be looking right at her. She fell in love.It wasnt unheard of for a Guardian Angel to fall in love with her charge, and she never dreamed she would act on her feelings. She tried to fight the urge of revealing herself to him. She knew if she did it would mean the end of her eternal life as an angel. She would no longer be able to travel between earth and heaven and care for her human charges. She would be stuck on earth unnoticed till she withered away into nothingness. She would hover over his body and whisper in his ear her love for him. While his eyes were closed she made herself visible praying that one night he would actually see her and fall in love with her too. She would carress his face, and lay next to him keeping him safe.The Lord learned of her love, and although he felt sorry for the Angel he reminded her of what would happen if she acted on her feelings for the soldier. The Angel cried, real tears, and the Lord cried with her.One night as she lay next to her soldier he woke. He had felt her kisses, and smelled the sweetness of a fresh spring breeze. He asked aloud for her to be with him. He told his Angel he could feel her love. He confessed he was afraid he wouldnt be going home. He just needed to feel the love of a woman and be held and be loved before his life ended. The Angel knew what she would be giving up to grant his wish. Her love was stronger than the desire for eternity.The warm dry air blew as she kissed his lips in the desert night. When she pulled back the soldier saw the most beautiful blonde creature he had ever seen immersed in a golden light. She took him by the hand and they walked what seemed to be forever to where no one would witness her sin. She removed her gown and revealed creamy white satin flesh. Her wings unfolded and fluttered as she removed his uniform. They were surrounded by warm glowing stars and protected by the darkness. She touched his body and kissed his soul with hers. She lay him down and made love to her soldier. She loved him with every essence of her heavenly being. The soldier had never felt such exstacy. His body trembled with excitement and burned with the passion.The Angel had never known physical love. She reveled in the pleasure of the touches of her soldier. He loved her for her gift, not knowing what she was giving up to be with him.After, as they laid together, she looked her soldier in the eye and confessed her love. She also confessed the consequences of her love. She had given him her eternal life and no matter what happened in this war he would survive and live to love another. When she got up her wings were gone. He cried real tears for her. She was not human for she had never been, she was a fallen Angel. Stranded on earth for eternity and destined to love the soldier forever. She vanished. The soldier woke the next day, and it all felt like a dream to him. But his body remembered her touch. He had a single tear in his eye knowing she was gone and he wouldnt feel her touch again. He smiled and was joyous for her gift. The purity of her love would save his life over and over. The gift would take him home to family and future loves. When the war did end finally the soldier went home. The Fallen Angel cried real tears again. The Lord felt sorry for her and cried with her again. He told her because her act of giving up her eternity was the most unselfish act of love he had witnessed she could either have her eternity back or become human and hope that her soldier would find her on earth and love her as human.She didnt hesitate. She chose to be human, and the Lord Named her April for she was the scent of spring.Have I found my soldier?
