In times of suicide
In times of despair
Something came to me
To make me aware
In the depths of an illness
In a hospital bed
I was taken to heaven
With a voice in my head
A strangers caress
Whilst standing outside
A hand on my arm
And a face full of pride
So many angels
Not far from my view
Always offering me
To try something new
A knock at the door
An answer to my plea
These angels keep coming
To show the real me
They can be in a voice
Or a roomful of sorrow
But they'll always be near you
To help you reach for tomorrow
God created these angels
From the heavens above
And he sent them to earth
To teach us to love
He sent them to answer
Any questions we fear
And If a hand reaches out to you
The angels are near
In a list

Thank you for your most beautiful and inspiring entry, not to mention the fact that you show clearly your belief in angels, which in my opinion do exist, so I totally agree, Josephine

Just Great!
Congratulations on the Gold and for sharing this wonderful poetry of yours. You wrote a fine poem and one that touches the lives of any who have been there, done that! There are many kind, angelic folks spread around and as long as the "orphans" are ready to meet them and witness their kindness they too will be ready to pass love along. Thanks again for this one! joy

Ahh that was so lovely!
You touched my soul with that one. I shall note the next white feather that falls in my path as a gift from one of your Angels.

"Angel on earth""is one of the best poems I have ever read. Its so deep and it really touched my soul.
this is so perfect and so deep. you were able to capture the true description of a bitter and worthless world, and how the love of another can change even the worst of things. how an angel can turn a harsh winter into a beautiful spring, it was very passionate and at the same time tender...
I jus want you to know that the poem gave me strength, thanky ou for sharing it to me and others!
Good luck in my contest!
