Messengers

"I heard an angel speak last night and he said,
"We are only here to comfort, inspire and give you hope."
Winged messengers, of all variety, we hover over
and protect to help you cope. 

Maybe in form of a dragonfly 
representing lightness, elegance and speed.
Symbolizing regeneration, we're beneficial 
and help you succeed. 

Cherubs adorning children's graves
so the precious ones are at peace.
Cultivating a sense of calm
so that pure love will increase. 

So if you happen to feel the wind
or shiver out of the blue.
Please don't fear, just realize
its souls we like to renew.
