A Tribute to Angels                                                                                     November 10, 2013

I believe in Angels,

They twinkle in the stars and whisper through the wind.

I believe in Angels,

They creep into a nightmare and create a dream instead.

I believe in Angels,

They sit there in the dark and turn the shadows into light. 

I believe in Angels,

They raise their eyes and wink at me when sorrows crowd my mind.

I believe in Angels,

They beckon me sometimes.

I believe in Angels,

God surely had a plan.

…I will not walk alone, not with angels by my side.

I believe in Angels,

Not everyone agrees.

…Rage and evil will attempt to clip their shining wings.

 

I believe in Angels,

Their wings are made of steel.

…The strength of a thousand lifetimes sustains their worthy souls.

I believe in Angels,

A steadfast watch they hold.

…When I am not aware, they send me subtle signs.

I believe in Angels,

They are in our midst.

…On the days when I forget this, a whisper tells me yes.

Goodnight my dear sweet angels,

Keep bright the stars above, and remain forever by our sides.
