Guardian Angel

The birth of a beautiful relationship
begins with the birth of each new life.
Each new life is awarded, without a price,
its own special Guardian Angel.
An angel so special and loving
that it loves its new little life unconditionally.
This is no small-time love,
but a love that is everlasting!
A love that follows through one life to another.
Our Angel prays with us, for us, and about us.
It protects us through bad times and sad times.
It defends us and shields us from the evils of life.

Our special angel cries with us when we hurt,
and laughs with us, not at us.
When we fall,
our angel is there, with soft soothing arms,
to gently lift us up.
With kind cultivated words our Guardian Angel is there,
to calm our broken hearts and grieving souls.
Our angel is our most intimate companion.
A companion who,
knowing the good, bad, and worst that there is in us,
will never abandon us for another.
A lifelong friend
with the capacity of unconditional love.
So take a deep breath,
and breathe in the love.
Listen to the winds,
and hear your angel's voice whisper words of encouragement and comfort.

Gaze into the sky and look closely
for the shadow of your angel
in protective flight above you.
Open your thoughts to the endless possibilities
of your Guardian Angel's love for you.
