Living Angels

They have no halos They have no wings They don’t show themselves in spirit form They do sometimes show you wild and wonderful things They don’t get pain Their hearts can be pretty sensitive And on their sleeve is where it’s laid They are not only in the shadows Nor are they seen only at night They are with us everyday Be it dark or light They are nothing more than living angels People among us like you and me Putting their own issues with life aside To help someone in their time of need And wipe away tears that have been cried Weather it’s in the form of a hug, just to listen, or some simple words They will do their damnest to pull you out of your hole that you crawl into and hide They don’t doubt you But sometimes within themselves they find it hard to believe That their actions towards others are very much in need They have problems realizing how much they have done for you and me Living angels With us in our everyday Stand by our side good or bad come what may Look around they aren’t hard to find As long as you open your heart, soul, and mind Don’t’ let life leave you cold hearted and blind For they are reaching out their hand trying to be kind Needing you as much as you need them Living angels don’t let what they do for us come to an end This is dedicated for my friend Wayne Very much an angel to me If only he could open his eyes and clearly see And within himself he needs to truly believe
