Angels Among Us
~Marge Tindal~ 1999

Earth angels are everywhere.
Have you seen one today?
Is it possible that they are sent
to tell us what to say?

What to say to the child needing comfort,
what to say when a heart needs to mend.
What to say when a woman is crying
because she's lost a friend.

Could it be that earth angels just know
exactly what to do,
When someone has a need,
just like me and you?

I'm sure that's why they come,
but I'd really like to know ...
Just where do earth angels live?
Next door?
I think so.

So when an earth angel visits,
and they will indeed,
be sure to return the favor
to another friend in need.

For all of us are earth angels
to someone at sometime.
I'll be yours when you need me,
and I'll hope that you'll be mine.

That's the way earth angels continue
to spread their joy and love.
So wear your wings while on earth,
and I know you'll wear them above.

Marge, this was great! My neighboor was an earth angel until he died....and my boyfriend too is an earth angel.

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

This is beautiful, Marge! And I especially like how you said 'I'll be yours when you need me and I'll hope that you'll be mine'!
You didn't say 'I'll be yours when you need me if only you'll be mine'. Big difference, isn't there?! The way that you wrote it portrays a blessed unconditional sentiment!
Well done!

WhiteDove - Thank you. We all meet 'angels' everyday .. the challenge is to 'be' an angel to someone.
Elizabeth - Angels and stars ... both shining brightly for us all to see.
Systematic D. - Earth angels are all around us. You are fortunate to know them.
Denise - Thank you, my friend. Angelic deeds
are unconditional for sure.

I'm an Angel?...Just ask Ron...why he never had a doubt about me?.....I'm sweet, kind, and except for them wing thinggies and a slip or two of my halo, I fit the role?......Okay, so there's been those very few times my halo fell, but other than those few 50 or 60 times.....

Ah, precious Toe - The halo glows brightly ... even when a little tarnished or slipped. You have a heart of gold ... and even though you try to hide it ... it shines brightly.
Martie - This angel would live in your heart no matter what the physical address is.
Look ... I'm on your shoulder now. I'll just be a pocket angel and pop out when you need me.

Ah, Toe ... takes a wise man to have a litany of wise cracks. Humor serves you well. Your perspective on life is as unique as you are ... precious, I tell you.
