Angels Watching

"Though I never see with human eyes                                                                                                                     The hands that lead me home."                                                                                                                                Last line, Angels Watching Over Me, by Amy Grant


Although I have never seen one, I believe in angels.
I believe that they serve God's bidding and our benefit.

Although when they encountered people in the Bible,
They invoked fear; but they were quick to create calm.

I would cite an armed robbery on the streets of Chicago
As my first encounter with a life-threatening experience.

In the dark of night, two youths approached me with a gun
Demanding money.  They took $90 from me, and I was blessed

To walk away with life and limbs. I saw no angel, but I believe
That one was surely present, deflecting chaos and creating calm.
