Guardian Angel
Jul 20, 2009 in Poetry
At times when it is quiet,
and silence wraps around.
I think I hear a footstep,
just lightly passing by.
It startles me
when I look and nothing obvious appears.
But then I remember
that I have an angel
who always keeps so near.
At times when all my burdens,
become more than I can face.
And all my strong resolve,
melts away
like sand sifting through my fingers.
I suddenly feel a lightening of the darkness,
a stirring of gentle happiness
and remember she’s watching over me,
my dearest dearest, sweetest, gentle one.
And when the greatest joys float lovingly through my life,
I feel a quiet hand
sharing in all my delight.
Her voice floats in on whispers,
her beauty I glimpse in flashes.
her strength she lends so freely,
unselfishly and without hesitation.
Truly a gift and always my cherished blessing.
