Angels Among Us

Missing image

Angels come in every shape, form, and size.

We have probably passed them, and never realized.

They could have been the one that took your hand,

the day that you tripped, and helped you to stand.


Or even the person who let you front them in line,

who only had a few things, but to them that was fine.


Probably the stranger who picked up your dropped book,

who wasn't even there the first time you looked.


Maybe even the one who smiled, when you felt so down,

didn't turn away when they saw you wearing a frown.


Or maybe the unknown person who offered you aid,

just wanting to help with no thoughts of being repaid.


So yes I believe in Angels, even if we can't see their wings,

just everyday people who puts others before other things.


Yes Angels do come in every shape, form, and size.

We have probably passed them, and never realized.

    this was good, luv. i liked the way your poem is set up; two lined, simple ryhme scheme with a defined subject. its hard to find those nowadas, because most authors will attempt to write in this style, and then go off topic with their works rather frequently. all in all, it made me think of me and my own angel, so thank you for inspiring me with my work.

    So many wonderful truths. Many angels are never even known because they keep us from becoming involved in something bad just as you say by maybe delaying us for those precious few seconds to keep us out of harms way.
    Be blessed and best wishes to yu in the contest.

    yes you have a angel that is given to you just the moment before your born and they remain till your last breath but some times they just watch you make a fool out of your self laugh a little then step in and sometimes they are requested not to step in well another great write keep doing well
    love the papa

    Thanks hun. I think if we just thought about situations we have been in, we'd see that someone did something that made things better for us. Maybe just a smile, or when our arms were full someone opened a door, or said good morning and just that took the edge off our bad mood. Or could even be something like stalling us long enough to prevent us from being at an intersection when someone ran a traffic light. Those things we'll never know. Anyway, thanks so much my Angel friend, your support and words of encouragement have helped me in SO many ways! Jeannie

    Jeannie great write the connection with angels or our spirits are all around some people connect others have a fleeting glance while some never do.There seems to be something out there with which we have no control over but there are too many situations that have occurred to have a closed mind. thought provoking and a pleasure to read. Good luck in the contest.
