"Your charge is to guard pristinely unmarred from this lofty and immortal place.
Your time on the planet would be short if we planned it so please keep your wings in this space."

"Please give me a chance" begged this angel of light, "to be down there and give it my all.
I'll promise to love as I do from above to be helpful and honor my call."

The bright angel deferred as the elders conferred on the fate of this cherub's request,
for to rise in the ranks to guardian is a calling for only the best.

"Your plea is persuasive, we won't be dissuasive." Said the wizened old angels in chorus.
"There are some conditions and some prohibitions that will guide the deeds that you do for us.

Go choose your folks well for its quite hard to sell this notion of brief mortal life.
Teach them lessons in courage and not to discourage the bravery and faith in their strife.

Teach them humour and wit and not to omit the joy of and inquisitive mind.
Teach unconditional love for the Lord God above favors those who are exceptionally kind.

The lessons you'll learn will be hard but you'll earn many points here in heaven my son.
For angelic guards, those heavenly bards must be earth-sent for their wings to be won.

As you play out your part you'll know in your heart your exitstance is part of a plan
to serve God and protect and even detect a hint of our heavenly clan.

For Lights of all kinds will be important at times when no one will understand why.
But you'll know there's a beacon for something you're seeking just like when you learn how to fly.

On your last day on earth we'll plan your rebirth to return here to Heaven's abode.
Our instructions are clear, so do not have fear please listen to what is foretold:

Be courageous to dare to take to the air one last time so we know where to find you.
Don't be worried at all as you go into your fall for we will be right there behind you.

And when your stay's done and your earth's treasure won how will you now comfort your loved ones?
I'll stay here to show it that life as they know it does not end as long as the love runs.

I'll thank them from above for their thoughts and their love for the chance to hug, hold them and kiss them.
They made me feel so I could learn, love and feel and now I'm OK even though I do miss them.

(Through billions of years, my spirit's been here. My life didn't end it just changed all.
And now I'll send you this verse for better not worse so you know that I am your guardian angel.)

A Loving God knowing our needs,
sends our Angel to whisper to our heart
that we are not alone!!

GUARDIAN ANGEL PRAYER -

O Holy Angel, attendant of my wretched soul and of mine afflicted life,
forsake me not, a sinner, neither depart from me for mine inconstancy.
Give no place to the evil demon to subdue me with the oppression of this mortal body;
but take me by my wretched and outstretched hand, and lead me in the way of salvation.
Yea, O holy Angel of God, the guardian and protector of my hapless soul and body,
forgive me all things whatsoever wherewith I have troubled thee,
all the days of my life, and if I have sinned in anything this day.
Shelter me in this present night, and keep me from every affront of the enemy,
lest I anger God by any sin; and intercede with the Lord in my behalf,
that He might strengthen me in the fear of Him,
and make me a worthy servant of His goodness.
Amen.
