What Do
Angels Look Like?
Like
the little old lady
who returned your wallet yesterday!
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes
light up the world when you smile!
Like the small child who showed you
the wonder in simple things!
Like the poor man who offered to share
his lunch with you!
Like the rich man who showed you that
it really is possible, if only you believe!
Like the stranger who just happened to come along,
when you had lost your way!
Like the friend who touched your heart,
when you didn't think you had one to touch!
Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
all ages and skin types!
Some with freckles, some with dimples,
some with wrinkles, some without!
They come disguised as friends, enemies,
teachers, students, lovers and fools!
They don't take life too seriously,
they travel light!
They leave no forwarding address,
and they ask nothing in return!
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
they get a deal on dry cleaning!
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
but they are everywhere when you look,
when you choose to see!
Hugs!
It's wondrous what a hug can do,
A hug can
cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can
say "I love you so",
Or, "Gee,
I hate to see you go".
A hug is,
"Welcome back again"!
And, "Great
to see you!" or
"Where have
you been?"
A hug can
soothe a small child's pain,
And bring
a rainbow after rain.
The hug! There's
just no doubt about it,
We scarcely
could survive without it!
A hug delights
and warms and charms,
It must be
why God gave us arms!
Hugs are great
for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for
sisters, swell for brothers,
And chances
are some favorite aunts
Love them
more than potted plants!
Kittens crave
them. Puppies love them.
Heads of state
are not above them.
A hug can
break the language barrier,
And make the
dullest day seem merrier.
No need to
fret about the store of 'em.
The more you
give, the more there are of 'em.
So stretch
those arms without delay,
And give someone
a hug today!
