Angels

ANGELS A much loved Christmas carol proclaims Angels we have heard on high Gently singing o'er the plains That, we can't deny And Hark The Herald Angels sing Is a favorite carol as well Glory to a new born King Is the story that they tell So angels have been a joyful part Of Christmas all along They were created from the start And announced Christ's birth in song But what of their existence now Are they part of life today Do they before the Savior bow And do they continually pray What role do angels play in life Do we each have our own To guard our way from daily strife So we are never alone Yes, I raised some questions, planted thought In the mind of all who read But the thing that I've always been taught Angels are real indeed 2 August 2018 For the contest sponsored by Emile Pinet

WOW!! My dear friend, you know already how much I appreciate your work. I just finished reading your poem, "Angel Dear" as you suggested. What a beautiful but simplistic way of letting others know the existence of and the value of having a guardian angel. I know I have one. Otherwise, I would not have survived to survive the number of years I spent in "the bottle". I now enjoy 36 years of sobriety and tell others how they too can have what I have.

Ditto, Tim! Scripture reminds us of the many times angels came and ministered Himself --- two such occasions were after He was tempted by satan and another was the night He prayed in the Garden and His sweat became as drops of blood.
