Earthbound Angels

I was at a place I didn't want to be, and was privileged to see angels working around me. The angels in heaven were praising and singing, as the night angel here on earth quietly was comforting a lady here on this plane. With a soothing voice ,the night angel talked to reassure and with a touch of a hand let her know someone was there. There also was a day angel ,as busy as she was took time to cool a hot brow, talk to this sweet lady suffering her last days, like she heard every word. So give praise to God's angels here on earth ,they do not look like angels but angels they are. So bless them do, Nurses they are ,all around you. Copyright 2008 Poems From The Heart Series Anne Rutherford. This is appropriate for my first poem back.

We are gonna all have a blast and I will get to finally meet this lovely man that you write glorious poetry about...hope your heart is healing...luv, gwendolen

Another nurse deeply appreciates this moving poem....ME! I love to celebrate ALL nurses...they work long hours with little breaks and are having to learn to do so much more with LESS. I still have my fav poem of yours--Sisters! Hugs, hang in there too. gwendolen

There's nothing like getting close to the abyss, to make us stop and contemplate. Your experience is well recorded.

Earthbound Angels will soar someday. Their ticket paid, they'll be on their way. And when they leave, may their place be filled. And another nurses account be billed.
