FEATHERLESS ANGELS

An angel born of flesh and bone Left on Earth's face for wings to hone Of nature's goodness, we were born To bring others the light of morn The stain of original sin May leave some birth marks on our skin But deep within, a heart of gold Lurks to alter the mists of mold We are images of the great one Who gets to make some good things done Sometimes we drift, but in our core We have goodness to lay in store Even if wings could not be seen Our feet left marks on grounds they've been We are all angels, so divine In heaven's banquet, we'll soon dine Can't believe it was NA poetry contest 1st place

Dear R. B., your spiritual poem is as beautiful as it is inspiring! Potent and positive poetry "Of nature's goodness, we were born/ To bring others the light of morn" and "Sometimes we drift, but in our core/We have goodness to lay in store" - splendid! Congratulations for your wonderful win in Silent One's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you very much... I'm inclined to believe that angels are real... And they don't necessarily have wings...
