Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Little Angel

An angel on my shoulder
Whispered to me
Go that direction
See what I see

I followed for a while
I wanted to live right
But me and my angel
We started to fight

I said I have free will
You don't need to stay
Still my little Angel
Wouldn't go away

By ignoring him
I made the wrong choice
What I thought was freedom
Was a different voice

This one alluring
No rules it said
Follow this way
I proceeded to be led

Down a spiral staircase
I started to slide
I seen in the distance 
Hells gate open wide

Oh little Angel
I see what you meant
Please Lord Jesus
Stop my descent

I thought I was too late
Yet stopped in my tracks
My Lord and Savior
Was able to hold me back

I trust in the Angel
The Lord gave to me
Rules I thought were bondage
Have now set me free

Lucilla Carrillo November 5, 2012 at 10:52 AM Richard; This to me is a master piece. I love this kind of poems. I collect Angels, but I have a little one that is always in my car. I do believe that he has saved me a few times from accidents. I have a poem here - A Little Angel. Thanks for sharing this one.

Isaiah Zerbst November 1, 2012 at 12:36 PM Right. What freedom we experience in rules that once seemed like bondage. I like the perspective here. Richard Lamoureux November 1, 2012 at 2:14 PM Thanks Isaiah, I'm glad you stopped by.

Andrea Dietrich October 30, 2012 at 8:03 AM I am guessing the little angel is your conscience speaking? reminds me of the tale of the man with an angel and a devil on each shoulder. VEry nice message in this one. Richard Lamoureux October 30, 2012 at 8:17 AM Yes that was part of it.
