On the 11th of September
A day we should all remember
That sad day the Twin Towers came falling down
Crashing to the ground
That fateful, infamous day
When Americans passed away
2,977 unfortunate souls
Went up to become God's Guardian Angels
And let's remember as well
Those who died from the toxins in the air from hell
Those Brave Police Officers, Firemen, EMTs and brave Citizens
To rescue people, went back in again and again
Now, God's Guardian Angels watch over us
As we do dangerous things and such
Things that must be done, understand?
To save people in danger, as many as we can
So, let's bow our heads and say a prayer
For our Heroes who die every day everywhere
Our Heroes who may not always get recognized
But are Brave Heroes none the less in our eyes
When you relax after your day is done
Please remember our Heroic Unlucky Ones
Who are sadly no longer here
To Them, raise a cup, drink a toast of wine, spirits or beer
Remember we must!
Cause when the debris is cleared and cleared the dust
The Terrible War Site is gone
But the Memories live on...

I know
you're wondering
who's really
pulling the strings
Puppeting things
unbeknownst
to you
The lines between
the lies & truth
are blurry
They hide what's true
in a hurry
to blind you to
the weight of the storm
You're beneath
a bevy of flurries
that weigh more
than imagined
The reality is heavy
& I imagine you're
looking for answers in
all the wrong places
Empty spaces
where clean mirrors
used to be
You can no longer
glean a clear reflection
due to all the
dirty projections
Harsh lessons
being taught in
the dead of winter
classes
No one passes
in the thick of it all
unless you're shoveling
your fastest
Watch as snowballs
metastasize into the size
of glaciers & roll before
you've had a chance
There's no running from
this avalanche no matter
where you go or
what angle you take
I suppose
they want you to
just accept your fate
& make a snow angel
Remember, I am always
There for you...
And in thoughts we are
Very close...
Don't cry anymore, it will pass.
Because we will meet again...
Oh please, just laugh only once more
So shining like ...
The starlight...
Because everyone knows...
Angels
Don't
Cry.
Rock angels playing
anthems that hit eternal.
Swift shred now echoes.

Exaltation to Mary:
Queen of Angels
To God be the glory
For enthroning you, Mama Mary
As Queen of Angels – Queen of Heavenly Host
Among all queens & angels – you are the foremost
You are the Most Blessed Queen
The Queen of queens, the Queen of Angels, free of sin
The angels in heaven bow down to you, oh Queen Mary
Oh Heavenly Queen, to you also glory be.
Amen.

*Exaltation to Mary as Queen of Heavenly Host
Are there rules directing angels,
its possible that's true
they go about their business,
unseen by me and you.
Perhaps one is your guardian,
protecting you from harm
a special kind of power,
not unlike, a lucky charm.
For those who've been anointed
its heaven, where you reside,
someplace way far above us,
from there, they do preside.
We're not allowed to see you
a rule, that seems to be,
just know that I'd be thankful,
if there's one, protecting me!
sun gave time; sun didn't give goodbye
the red heart, with a snip, cut out under halo's face
now she pulls it upward against this vase
after hovering curtains, stem's just too much weight
she's someone else once petals shed in flight
fallen tulips make believe angels do it

They say the cancer will take me
My heart is weaker with each beat
Oh my body has been fighting you can see
Soon my God I will meet
Don't worry my soul will go up into the sky
Oh one day with angels I will fly
One day with angels I'll fly
Oh my soul will go up into the sky
Oh yeah with angels I'll fly
Up in that great big sky
Oh one day with angels I'll fly
With angels I'll fly
As I lay on my hospital bed
They say it won't be long
So much I hadn't said
But soon I'll be gone
Oh don't worry my soul will go into the sky
Oh soon with angels I'll fly
One day with angels I'll fly
Oh my soul will go up into the sky
Oh yeah with angels I'll fly
Up in that great big sky
Oh one day with angels I'll fly
With angels I'll fly
It won't be long
Oh soon I'll be gone
Don't worry I'll be up in the sky
Oh soon with angels I'll fly
One day with angels I'll fly
Oh my soul will go up into the sky
Oh yeah with angels I'll fly
Up in that great big sky
Oh one day with angels I'll fly
With angels I'll fly
Oh yeah my soul will go up into the sky
Yeah one day Oh one day with angels I'll fly
Gods and angels went away
For an indefinite vacation
“We’re mere ideas anyway
Dignified by population”
Says God, who asked not to be named
“Nowadays it turns ridiculous
Politicians took our fame
Made up maliciously fastidious
All the simple laws we set
And this farcical state of affairs
Is the one we must protect
Though the mess they made is theirs
We, Gods, wash our hands of this
Devil’s game the people play
If they want us Gods be missed
Let them pave their hellish way”
Spoke the God, whose name’s not known
But one angel smiled and said
“Here’s my email and my phone
Ping me up if something’s bad..”
So I wrote her phone and email
Down in my book and slept
The wild wind lashed at our sail
All the way to my homeland.
When the Angels Come
Kevin Davis 2026
Some nights when sleep won’t come to me,
I drift in thoughts too deep to see.
At 3 a.m., when the world is still,
The Angels come and bend my will.
They sit beside my restless mind,
Untie the knots that worries bind.
They turn my darkness into light
And guide me gently through the night.
From all they teach, I find my way,
Transforming shadows into day.
With morning’s glow, my hopes begin—
My mind made clear, I’m poised to win.
As she sits in perfect peace
The Angel sits in deepest thought
Is it of a past love she thinks?
Or just a moment that she’s caught
Her beauty is beyond compare
Still to be with her forevermore
With her locks of curly hair
Her past life just a far distant shore
Now her life to glide the universe
Watching over many a long lost soul
With her hand to guide them home
Together they will stroll
Her heart maybe heavy
With thoughts that may have been
Of her lovers long ago
And things that she has seen
But she sits alone and thinks
Of what her life is now
Of all the sad souls she can save
With her hand upon their brow
Her white wings shining in the sun
Now it’s her time to sleep
So we must let her settle down
And promise not to peep

Honor the Angels & Saints
Angels & Saints are friends of God
Honoring them has never been bad
They can help us become closer
To the One we worship up there
Through them, our Creator magnifies His glory
That many are with Him though He's one & only
To honor His friends is to honor Him too!

*18th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet
The bright blue sky with white fluffy clouds,
are slipping far away.
The day is coming to a close,
it is now their bedtime.
The bright blue is turning into crimson, pink and purple,
as the golden sun slips away.
Bright stars looking like huge diamonds,
are awaking to dress the night sky.
Heavenly angels are watching and waiting,
for they will soon be needed.
Have You Heard Them Say,
"it is Written in the Stars"?
Angels come with ink from heaven,
as they spend their nights writing away.
Only a few will see and read,
what a special message it will be.

The 2 Kinds of Angels
God, a spirit so mighty
Once upon a time felt lonely
So He created for Him companions
Who will accompany Him in His dominions
Angels they are known to be
Also wise, powerful & holy
Yet, many of these sacred creations
Had for them wicked aspirations
So they were thrown to the burning sea
To suffer for all eternity
There bad angels became Satanic minions
Their job is to oppose God & bring abominations
But the good angels are always ready
To safeguard the sovereign of the Almighty!

*4th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet
Their joint slept espoused peace; of all
A safe-sealed lie
What as sweet did with vie
No trees down-threw!
Besides what needful was, of us
Cooled, quelled thereround
With sun had bursts of sound
Yet filtered through.
