~When Angels Fall~...

An angels wings are fragile,
sometimes they fray and tear.
Sometimes the pain in their hearts...
is just more than they can bear.

It is such a sad moment to witness...
to watch an angel fall--
like a wounded bird that no longer can fly,
forced by broken wing to limp and crawl.

Sometimes it's not all their fault...
we should not judge or blame.
Instead we should mend those broken wings,
not weigh them down with guilt or shame.

Forgiveness is Gods most loving and healing gift,
it spares us the pain of our past mistakes...
and allows his fallen angel's wings and hearts to soar.
Forgive your self as he forgives us, this love that he shares...we should never forsake.

inspired by words and poetry from a new friend...
thank you for the inspiration...(smile)

 ...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...
Janet Marie

*I miss you baby...
I love you, always.*

What an inspiration this person was! What came to my mind and I don't know why is Touched By An Angel!  Wonderful poem!

Janet,  
  I love it!  This is so true as it pertains to us imperfect-frail and needy creatures called mankind. None of us are in a position to judge and condemn-nor cast the first stone--for the mercy we need to show others is the mercy we also need in our lives.
Let us find and Share God's forgiving love to the fullest. A Strong Amen to your Poetic
Message-good show!   David

~Janet Marie

This is so far my favorite of all your poems. This was just BEAUTIFUL...what a sad thought, when an angel falls. But I loved how you ended it with reference to God. Thank you as always for sharing your work!

Much respect,

What a beautiful piece!  How true that we should reach to support and uplift them rather than blame. You're so loving and inspiring in addition to being a super poet.

Thank you for the reminder to help instead of hurt. Lift them up not add additional pain. Very nice.

So very touching. Reminds me of He will never leave thee nor forsake thee. But we do turn our backs a lot. The world is full of fallen angels. Thank you for the beautiful message.
