Angel On My Shoulder

Angels on my right shoulder Battling devils on the left Ever guiding my actions Saving my soul from bereft Angels e'er amongst us Like Clarence on Stewart's bridge Softly urge us to avoid Falling from grace at the ridge My special angel's sweet voice Sounds so much like my mother's But you have an angel too Who's unlike any other's Spirits of loved ones who've passed Want us to know heaven's joy So we reunite with them And eternal bliss enjoy So, Mom, if you're listening Your voice overtakes evil Helping me find the right path You've mastered soul retrieval A wonderful life bestowed By a righteous urging From an angel observer For spiritual merging

This work has the same title as Shelby Flint's hit song of yesteryear. As usual, this piece has your great descriptiveness and rhyming.

This is a beautiful poem, Carolyn. As you know, I believe that families are forever and that our ancestors are watching us cheering us on to win the prize...eternal life with God in one's own eternal family...reunited with loved ones. With that in mind, sometimes I remember to be a little more careful about things I might say...I try. I'm not sure relatives are as forgiving as God is...But in the end, righteousness wins. You go girl-friend. You are a winner. I love you. Dane Ann

Great & Beautiful write my friend. Your Poem reminded my late father's story, by which he used to teach Good & what is Bad & why should we follow the right angel's advice. Thanks for this lovely story gift of remembering my childhood story. Many thanks for your precious comments. Most of the Indians have always remained the Best friends of America & even today we are. On certain policies we may have some differences, but we have many things in common also. Love & Best wishes. Ravindra. C Devon
