The Flying Angel

  

         


     


              


        

  1.  She called us in with a welcoming smile.

       With a courteous bow, she let us in.

       She flitted to and from with gait agile.

       She flashed her pearly teeth with a friendly smile;     

       A fresh wave of fragrance wafted around.

       Our flight, like a swan, ready to leave the ground.


2.    She helped passengers their baggage to lift.

       She closed the bins above with movements deft.

       She cautioned people with gestures swift.

       She watched everything in proper order set.

       Our flight took off with roaring speed.

       She moved unperturbed to look after our needs.


3.    Like a Japanese doll with ceramic shine

       With her silky hair tied up in curious style

       Dressed in trim, red-colored uniform fine.

       She guided people with disarming smile.

       Her voice sounded soft and sweet like a song.

       In spite of many tasks, she looked unfazed and strong. 

 

4.  She pushed her cart with refreshments moving slow

     While children looked with anxious, hungry eyes.

     Colorful boxes and packets with tempting glow.

     The kids chose what they liked unmindful of the price;

     Compelling their parents to buy against their will.

     She served them smiling with consummate skill.

 

5.  Like a red rose she seemed fresh and bright

     Never she seemed tired with her routine.

     In serving others she found true delight.

     Like a denizen of heaven gliding through skies serene.  

     Like an angel flying with effortless ease

     With polite speech and manners, she doth please.

 

6.  Helping elders with timely help and aid

     She tackled angry ones with courage and restraint.

     She comforted ailing ones and doth guide.

     She attended to every need and complaint.

     When sudden jolts and jerks flustered us with fear

     She seemed to smile in face of death inspiring cheer.
