Angels

My boss Carrie and I had a conversation today about three very special girls that we know. We attend church with Lindsey(21), Stacey(22), and Kylee(5), and they are very unique and incredibly sweet girls. This led me to want to post a poem that I wrote July 23, 2002 about people as special as they are.

ANGELS

How are we to know who God's angels are...

How are we to know whether they're near or far?

God created all; everything we see,

He created life; even you and me.

He sends us angels each and everyday

They're here to guide us and protect us along the way.

I have often wished that I had my own

Someone I could just call on the telephone

But one day I was looking around

and was completely shocked at what I had found

I found there are angels everywhere

They're always here, and they care

An angel may not be,

what you would expect to see

They don't have halos around their head

and at night they don't tuck you into bed

They are the people who shine so bright

They have heaven in their hearts and are filled with God's light

They see life without all the troubles

its as if they lived in a bubble

They live in a happy daze

They don't get lost in that evil maze.

They know pain, hurt and sorrow

But they're optimistic and can't wait for tomorrow

Their hearts are filled with nothing but love

Its obvious they were sent from us above.

They're here to remind us of what is real,

to forget the pain, to just feel.

To feel God's love, to open our arms

so he can rescue us from life's harm

They're filled with simplicity and God's holy light

Their hearts sing a song, while their eyes shine bright

I believe they were sent to glorify earth,

to bless our lives - beginning at birth.

Angels may not be perfect to the eyes of all,

but to our hearts they send s special call

They call to our hearts, to the depths of our souls

They call to our mind, to our life's goals

They make us think twice abut our path

They make us think twice about God's wrath

They open our eyes to what is true

They open their hearts to both me and you

God's angels are all around

and we are so lucky to have three we've found.

To Lindsey, Stacey and Kylee - you are all truly God's angels and I thank God everyday for blessing my life with friends like you.
