Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Guardian Angel

Guardian Angel 

Somewhere there's an angel
with her head held in her hands.
Sent to be beside me
when no one understands.

Frustrated by my blindness
and things that I can't see.
Sometimes driven crazy
by the things that make me me.

I wonder if she wonders
if I'm ever going to learn
Consequences that I face
from bridges I can't burn.

Things it seems I cling to
I have my whole life through.
You can't let go of something
that's holding on to you.

People I'm still loving
in this crazy life I live.
And those that I have pushed away
I struggle to forgive.

Times of indecision
when I just can't decide.
Laughter when I shouldn't
and tears that I can't hide.

Those times when I am certain
that God's neglecting me.
It's then it seems I turn to find
that He's protecting me.

And somewhere there's an angel
with her head held in her hands.
Sent to be beside me
when no one understands.

Edwin C Hofert

Jan Allison April 14, 2015 at 11:39 AM I found this poem so so moving Edwin I can relate to it so so much. I know I have a guardian angel looking after me Edwin - she is there for me with amazing advice and friendship and has got me through the toughest 3 years of my life - we all need someone but we need to be there in return. Hugs Jan xx 7 xx Jan Allison April 14, 2015 at 11:58 AM WE all need those special people in our lives Edwin - someone who really understands you, who you can confide in and is none judgmental but simply there for you at the right time... and it isn't always necessarily your partner:-) Hugs Jan xx Edwin Hofert April 14, 2015 at 11:52 AM I would be lost without angels. Including the ones placed in my life here on earth. Like you. Thank you Jan for your always encouraging words and ways. Hugs back at you. Ed
