I think I know one.

The Bible says they’re here on earth

walking amongst us

—-

How would we even

Know if there was an angel

Sent here to help us?

—-

No wings, no feathers

laying around. No halo

hung on the bedpost.

—-

He can’t play the harp.

No white robe. And he wears shoes.

Only clouds? Angel Soft.

—-

I’m baffled, intrigued,

Mesmerized by his presence,

Not in love- in awe.

—-

His heart a deep well,

where Love shines like a beacon

for all to behold.

—-

Generosity

and compassion abounding

with unknown measure.

—-

To have an angel

moving in our midst is proof

that God has heard prayers.

—-

Never stop praying

or having conversation…

I think I know one.

    I have two photos of the angels flying around the harbor where I live. Yes, they are around us. I have two best friends who I would swear are angels. Yes, I believe they exist and are always around to comfort and guide us.
