Angels In Many Forms
God blesses us with angels
Not thinking of fluffy wings or mystical flying things
I'm thinking of those who help you beyond measure
The life changing, life saving acts each selfless soul brings
Could be that aunt who always highlights the positive side of chaos
Wanting you to see that there is always a light
Or the uncle who praises you, but will not sugar coat a major misstep
Initially angry, you do your best to correct, for you know good and well he's right
Or the friend who keeps in touch thru years and miles
seems to instinctively call when you really need to vent
The pal who centers you, knows what to say to bring you back to yourself
when life has taken hold, making you forget where your true self went
Those strangers...who defend you when you're unjustifiably attacked
unapologetically righting what's morally wrong
The first responders, putting their lives on the line to save yours
such brave hearts, so miraculous when they come along
The one in a lifetime love
That romantic dream come true
Your complement, your eternal partner
The sweetheart that heaven sent just for you
And when those selfless souls pass away
Even within another realm, those angels continue to protect those they hold dear
Countless ways they communicate care and caution...you can see
their loving foresight in hindsight, though they're no longer physically here
God blesses us with angels
Not thinking of fluffy wings or mystical flying things
I'm thinking of those who help you beyond measure
The life changing, life saving acts each selfless soul brings
