God's Angels

This room is very crowded
There is not one inch of space.
For the angels of the Lord 
Are camped out in this place.

I know you cannot see them,
But be assured they are here.
If you listen very closely,
You’ll hear a rustle in your ear.

For one of God’s precious children
Is going home from this very room.
I don’t know how long it will be,
But I know it will be very soon.

The Lord, Himself, has sent them
To bear his precious child home.
What a comfort it is to know they’re here,
And that we are not alone.

Betty, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
