Notes About The Poem

My Guardian Angel


My Guardian Angel


My guardian angel, God's gift from above,
   resides in my heart, guiding my mind and soul.
      Protective wings wrap me with angelic love
         to shape my decisions and life's every goal.

My guardian angel helps me to live days
   with God's gifts of nature that surround my life.
      When times become stressful, this comfort displays
         that hope in tomorrow will lessen my strife.

My guardian angel guides me day and night
   to give of myself in each way that I can;
      for family, friends, or others who might
        empower my heart to help my fellow man.
         
My guardian angel directs my daydreams...
  leads my inspiration toward creative art,
      with words or a paintbrush, display lovely scenes,
         and bring forth the beauty of life from my heart.

My guardian angel will guide me through death;
   help shape my acceptance at that solemn time.
      Wrapped up in her splendor...then at my last breath,
         will bring me to Heaven...eternal, sublime.
