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

Richard, I like this write. Never leave home without your Angel. And never go to rest without a prayer in your heart. -Richard

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. Lucilla

Right. What freedom we experience in rules that once seemed like bondage. I like the perspective here.

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.
