Angels

Earthbound as divine powers on mission
Empowered by knowledge, eager to guide
Looking after weary and forgotten
Guarding the helpless and the teary eyed 
From distant rice fields to high mountain peaks
Holding tides at bay when disaster hits
From the Atlantic to the Pacific
Message of God's bliss never ever quits
Bringing every life blessed gift of love 
When grief ascends while happiness retreats
Riding on gentle breeze of mourning dove
A message that lifts from hopeless defeats
The Angels will not surrender God's will
Tirelessly working to convey goodwill

Angels are there all around us to steer our way and guard us from all ills ! They are not seen in celestial form alone but sometimes in human form too. They rally round to wipe away the tears and insulate us from deadly current. An angelic poem , Vijay !
