Angels In Your Life

There have been angels in my life,
While they haven't arrived
with a blast of trumpets
Or a rustle of wings,
I've known them just the same.

They performed their acts in human guise,
Sometimes borrowing the
faces of family and friends,
Sometimes in the form
of a stranger lending a hand.

You have known them, too,
When just the right word was needed,
When a tiny act of kindness
made a great difference.

Or perhaps you heard a voice
whispering in the night of sorrow,
The words not quite clear
but the meaning unmistakable,
"There is hope, There is hope."

May your angels watch over you
And always keep you safe
And whisper in your ear
To banish hate and fear.
