Are There Angels

Are There Angels? There are angels in the city Angels in the trees An angel in your pocket Pick any one of these There are angels in your backseat Angels on your dash Angels that you might meet If ever you should crash There are angels in the schoolrooms There are angels in your church Angels in your work place Angels if you search There are angels on your doorstep Angels standing beside you Angels while we all slept Angels are in fact quite true You may not realize they’re angels They may look like you or me But they’ll touch you when you need it And wherever you might be I met so many angels As I fought my cancer fight They were with me every morning And there for me each night Some were wearing doctor’s outfits Some were wearing nurses’ smocks Some in cushiony white sneakers Some were wearing bright orange crocks Some looked like my friends and family Some looked like no one I’ve met Some said not a word but touched me Some I never will forget There are angels all around us Maybe not as you expected They’re everywhere if you just look Though most go undetected So you ask if there are angels And if I’ve been touched by one No – I’ve been touched my many You can see just what they’ve done Mdailey 3/30/12

I enjoyed reading your poem, Mike. You brilliantly put ideas in your poem about angels. I absolutely agree that angels are everywhere and we can also feel them through the good people around us. Keep writing and sharing your poem, Mike. Thanks.
