Broken Wings

The angels are hurting, in pain
They are everywhere, in vain
Came upon one the other day
Smelling alcohol, in dissaray
Took me a while to realise
That the world has a surprise
All that is required is a helping hand

The angels begin life on earth's soil and sand
They are all around in every corner
Their call we pretend not to hear
Came upon one the other day
Lost child, homeless nowhere to stay
Comprehend, I could not, for the child was sad
And the parents just plainly said "too bad"

The angels find their way
They fight for a better day
Soothing their pain, embracing their sorrow
Mending their broken wings, waiting for tomorrow
Watching them prepare to reach the stars
Smiles on their faces as they begin to soar
I resume my search for another broken wing
Reminding that flowers do bloom and angels sing

Couldnt let this one go by without a reply... I love angel poems.
"Always walk with your head in the clouds. You may not see all there is too see but you will never have to see the ground on which you fall."

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

CuddleZ,
Great reply, so glad you liked this one. I agree with you, we shall never let them go by without telling them we see them.

Daniel* You've touched my heart in this
piece...you live and weave the golden rules
of life so beautifully....indeed we should
never pass up the oportunity to reach out to
someone...present ourselves as a gift of
God's hands~

Butterflies,
Oh! How I appreciate your replies, you make me try even harder each time to reach out to those in need. Thank you.

Paula,
Your kind words are so precious to the task I have in writing.
