Featherless Angels

Reverence heard, a compassionate sound of solemn word,
Resounds mercy of utmost goodwill, aura-divine spurred,
Performing deeds of beneficence, defying malevolence; 
An epistle of angels on earth conferring gift of benevolence.

Such holy angels dwelling among us, are gems quite rare,
Purity of their actions proclaim~ how genuinely they care,
For the destitute, the hapless, caught in throes of despair,
Proffering words of prayer, pleading for hope and welfare.

Messengers of peace, hallowed in zeal of virtuous intention,
Supernal is their magnificence, never yearning attention,
Humble in service to others, dedicated to their missions,
Guiding through life’s hurdles, fulfilling human ambitions.

Inner harmony echoes from voice of their altruistic soul,
Righteous are such missives, sentiments endearing cajole,
Rejecting pessimism of fate in bold pursuit of virtuous goal,
Of kindness, of amity and love, teachings spiritual extol.

Featherless angels, mortals alike us, yet they live on and on,
Worshipped for their pious acts, long after they are gone,
For legacies of ideals devout, profound passions of heart,
For reassurance, inspiration of life, memories now impart.

Kim Rodrigues November 7, 2023 at 6:22 AM Rejecting pessimism of fate in bold pursuit of virtuous goal, Of kindness, of amity and love, teachings spiritual extol...My brother came to mind, having been the most positive during mom’s cancer. When he told us of her sealed fate, we knew we could trust him. God bless you, dear Vijay!

Judy Ball November 2, 2023 at 5:00 AM A wonderful tribute to the unsung heroes of our day. People who go out of their way to help when and where it's needed. These are the true Christians. The ones who LIVE their faith instead of talking about it. Bravo my friend. A fave for me. God Bless, JB Vijay Pandit November 4, 2023 at 11:40 AM Yes --they are special people.

Victor Buhagiar October 31, 2023 at 3:35 AM I believe in angels, sang the group Abba. Whether they do or not is up to them. I believe in angels as we read about them in the Bible.
