     Borrowed wings

We are all Gods Angels
We're here on borrowed wings.
He's testing our love and faith
Helping us cope with what life brings.

Sometimes we slip and fall
We need his help along the way.
Satan tries his best
To lead us all astray.

If your faith is strong
And your love for life is real.
Then God will intervene,
When Satan tries to bend your will.

When you're feeling lost
Get on your knees and pray.
Don't let the Devil tempt you
Or he'll take your soul away.

Some of us lose our wings
God takes, one feather for each sin.
Although God walks beside us
It's up to us, not to let the Devil win.

Have faith in God and yourself
Then you can deal with what life brings.
Remember that you're not alone
We're all here on borrowed wings.

  Ellen

This is a wonderful and sweet
poem not only in acknowledgment that
there are angels  amongst us, but that we
are like the angels as I also do believe one
day we will truly be. When we reach Heaven, if we will be
like angels with full plumage or with tattered wings,
as you have written, much of the result will
surely be according to the choices that we
make here on Earth. Again. very intriguing
poetry written here about the angels.

(smiles) Yay!!! Oh Ellen, this is beautiful, sweet friend, there are angels among us and they will always guide us with their light as we have wings deep within our souls that always have the grace and potential to spread out even when they may be invisible! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ellen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Lovely thought that we are here on 'borrowed wings. Very nice.

Ellen your poem is nice. I especially like the last part. I know for a fact that without God, life here would be unbearable. As for the feathers being taken for each sin== I am glad that that part is not true. For Jesus has done that already for me.
