Angels Here On Loan

There are angels here on earth Who are only here on loan This place is not where they are from This world is not their own They're sent to light the paths they walk To embrace us when we're sad To share in joyous times we have To make bad things not so bad They come in forms of mothers They sometimes are our friends They share in our beginnings And soften bitter ends These angels came to teach us How to love our fellow man To share the blessings that we're given To be all that we can While these angels walk with us We'll never be alone They'll always be within our hearts Not contained by flesh or bone And while we journey in this life May it comfort us to know Our angel is never far away No matter where we go Holly Miller 4/12/12
