Angel Wings At the ending of the day when I'm weary after a waterfall of tears have all been cried- and I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary- nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside. I lay my head upon my favorite pillow just close my eyes to block all the sorrow- wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside- to do it all again- tomorrow. And then I feel it- inside me. I feel it- around me. Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears- and held me close to wash away my fears. It's you, my angel, watching over me. And I know no matter what tomorrow brings, You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings- your lovin' angel wings. The sun comes up, it's time to face the day and I think that things are going to be all right- But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray- I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night. And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall As I look at my reflection in the glass- the eyes looking back at me make me feel small- and I ask, my God, how long's this going to last? And then I feel it- inside me. I feel it- around me. Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears- and held me close to wash away my fears. It's you, my angel, watching over me. And I know no matter what tomorrow brings, You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings- your lovin' angel wings. (Thank God for your angel wings) © Ellen M. DuBois Most, if not all of us, question why bad things happen in our lives. I don't have an answer to this but I do know that God does take what Satan meant for evil and turns it to good for His Glory. Today, I was searching the net for inspirational poetry and stories to share with you and I know in my "heart of hearts" that I was lead to Ellen's web site. Angel Wings was written by Ellen during a great time of loss in her life and yet, she was able to hang onto her faith in hope of a better tomorrow. That is inspiration. I invite you to visit Ellen's web site by clicking on her name under her poem. I know that you will be as blessed as much as I am. Thank you Ellen, for blessing me today. May you be encompassed in angel wings and God's blessings abound.
