The Parachute Jump

A quick sketch did the nervous teen etch
    a few breaths before the parachute jump

  Creased it with sweat, gave it to his girl
    who pressed it tightly to her heaving breast
  
  Then shut her eyes, couldn't bear to see
    once the countdown arrived at three

  A splash she thought she'd heard, but wait
    the sketch ~ a winged angel at heaven's gate
