visible tangible non-celestial no halo hovers above their heads their eyes radiate kindness, love, and care their reassuring voice could calm worries and fears their shoulders troubled souls could lead on their welcoming arms a home; comforting to one and all they could be anyone brothers sisters friends strangers grandparents gifted with a smile bright enough to illuminate a dark, gloomy day and make spirits dance and somersault giving of their time, their hearts; a world of good they do expecting nothing in return who says angels only come with wings? yes, they walk among us, too as human as you and yours truly.

Dear Edward, your beautiful poem radiates a halo of truth, appreciation and recognition for the "earth angels", the ones without wings, that walk among us. Your poetic expression is moving, emotionally inviting and rich with comforting reminders of angels who "could be anyone". I'm proud to share the podium with you, my poet friend. An exquisite piece! Congratulations for your success in Rose's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I so agree with you, Edward! Angels, with our without wings, walk among us as reflections of God's pure love delivering messages of hope encouraging us to "dance and somersault!" Congratulations on your win! Wonderful to see your poem on the winners list. Blessings my friend!

Beautiful poem Edward and who would disagree with such sentiments? So much controversy on the Soup of late. Nice to see something positive and easy to digest

You needn't wait any longer, wondering when/if someone will comment - I am here. (I go through that uncertainty after posting a poem.) Anyway, the thing is, I hereby pronounce you the winner of the Angel Contest, though I did enter it myself. Your poem is wonderfully written and so expressive with angel-details. I enjoyed each thought expressed. Love how you shaped the poem, too. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
