Angels

Angels come in a variety of sizes, often unexpected, full of surprises. Times when we’re in direst need, without fanfare or showy parade, they’ll comfort us with timely aid, being sympathetic, they pay heed. Possessing no halo that can be seen, they’re often someone who has been a familiar face in the neighbourhood. Maybe an acquaintance living near who helps us vanquish doubt and fear. At the onset, it is clearly understood they seek no reward nor compensation. Showing no bias or dogmatic persuasion, Angels are there when ill fortune overtakes, and we feel cornered; the future bleak. Bolstering our resolve, they’ll quietly speak to restore optimism, and relieve heartbreaks. But to see Angels we must first open our eyes, as they favour no stereotype. We must recognise they come in varied sizes and temperaments, displaying no signs, such as halo and wings, nor playing harpsichord, as a heavenly choir sings, being plain folks, without musical instruments. Nonetheless, they restore our peace of mind when our need is greatest. Ever welcome, we find their presence alone, exerts a becalming effect. Without Angels to ease times of deep despair, our burden, could prove impossible to bear. Such Angels are ones we love and respect! Rhymer. June 1st, 2016
