Swaddled In Angel's Wings

"Life offers divine moments that can only be shared with an angel." ~ by poet Softly, she swaddled me within the warmth of welcoming wings I shared my shadowed secrets, then she spoke in subdued voice 'Do not dwell in darkness and despair for your sweet soul sings of sorrow for your sins. Repentance gives you reason to rejoice' 'From the courage of confessing comes clemency of concession You have found favor with God and garnered His good graces He has heard your heartfelt words, and my own in intercession Our Father forgives you, and with empathy, eagerly embraces' Tenderly, she touched me, tempering the torrent of my tears Held me close, calmly confiding, 'Your bane of burdens I bear' When her weeping wet my cheeks, faith freed me from fears My adoring angel sighed, 'Persevere by praising God in prayer' Then her golden gossamer wings fluttered their fragile feathers Graciously given to me was a glorious gift. Solace cut the strings that kept my suffering soul trussed in tenterhooks and tethers, for I'd been safely swaddled within an angel's welcoming wings.
