Fallen Angels

They fall, and fall hard Direct from heavens yard "Angels descending, bring from above, Echoes of mercy, whispers of love"* Maybe they had a heart Especially for humans part For our lives they must’ve seen Desperate for help, we are keen These are angels that have fallen Why they want to help us there’s no tellin’ Their powers diminish as they fall They still are the most powerful of all Of us mere mortals, the weakest lot But favored from what God’s sought We might still need these angels Those not quite tied to heavens tangles The freedom leads some down further And finds the demons to pull them down under However those that remain with us Can be great to befriend, remind thus The good that we have within human nature And maybe the fallen angels give a good future Released from those daily problems we see Their perfect powers will surely set us free The friendly fallen angels that’s before us Are more helpful than hurtful nonetheless If we can just find them We can love again As there once was Can be again, twas The way it was meant to be A fallen angel for you and me Russell Sivey * quote by Fanny J. Crosby Entrant into Tracie ~*~ Indigo Dreamweaver's "~ Fallen Angel ~" contest 2/8/2012

Fabulous write, Russell. I do believe we are surrounded by friendly angels, but it's the demons that frighten people. I hope you don't mind if I think of you as a fallen angel because you are always so kind to me. You know I've been ill and your comments give me a much-appreciated lift. Wishing you success in Tracie's imaginative contest!! Love, Carolyn
