Beauty and wealth are among things I lack But angels are with me, watching my back Encamped about me with eyes open wide When I lose direction, they are my guide They shelter in storms, keep me from the rain Wipe away my tears when I am in pain I’m undeserving, but they still extend Unconditional love - from sister… friend They would not use celestial define But I have no doubt that angels are mine I often dwell on all the things I lack But angels are with me, watching my back |

Yo dear Suthern, Those angels watching your back are always a comfort. Now if we could just keep them on the job, and share their time with others. Love Bobby |

A heartening poem Suthern. In these lonely halls no moon will weep, no sun will shine. |

Yes, angels are always here for us Ruth! ~ They always watch our backs, and I believe that we all have our own personal guardian angels! Lovely write Ruth, and I am happy to here that you are aware that angels are near you and protecting you during the tough times!  ARCTIC WIND |

I think you are an angel so you would naturally draw them to you. I loved this one. |

This wonderful write of Angels warms the heart. Dear Ruth, you ARE beauty and it permeates and surrounds you, it's enough to look into the mirror and up to the sky and of course you find it too in the smiles of your Angels. I enjoyed this deeply. Love, Margherita  |

Bobby: I'd put aside my appreciation for a long time... but I've been blessed too much lately to ignore them... in whatever form they take. *S* Thank you! *S* Suncleaver: Thank you very much. *S* serenity: Got it covered, halo or horns: "They would not use celestial define" *G* LOL Many of those most deserving the term are also most hesitant to wear it. *S* Thank you so much, sweet lady... glad you liked! *S* AW: Whether angels keep my skin intact or not, angels in blue jeans keep watch on my sanity. *S* Thank you so much! *S* Dark Star: Thank you! Lindsay: Thank you so very much for those kind words, sir! *S* Mysteria: Many would argue that assessment. LOL But thank you so much! *S* Margherita: We must have been typing at the same time! LOL Thank you so very much, dear lady! *S* yann: I'm so glad you liked... thank you! *S* |

Owl: Whatever angels protected my kitties are most DEFINITELY appreciated! *S* Those little rascals own my heart. *S* And thank you so much for your kind eyes, my friend... you have the biggest, most beautiful heart! *S* ethome: Thank you very much, my friend! *S* WTBAKELAR: I have it on very good authority that I'll never achieve angel status. *G* But thank you so much... you just gave me the biggest smile! *S* 1slick_lady: Like I told her... halos are optional... for me, caring friends ARE angels. *S* Thank you, sweet lady! *S* BC: I'd lost my beliefs for a while... or hidden them away. *S* But... something or someone shielded me through a night of terror... and many someones have generously given their strength and support since. I am more grateful than I can say... thank you for liking the poor attempt. *S* |

Ruth, With every poem of yours that I read, I give thanks that you have returned to share your poetry with those of us here at PiP. You make me smile and sometimes you make me wipe a tear away - but you never fail to make me feel. Thank you. Alison |

Beloved one, This is superb, and you darling heart are an angel to me. I always believed in Angels, whatever form they take, and YOU and Keth are definitely my special angels. Whenever I am down in the dumps, I just have to recall your smile and I feel better. I THANK HIM for sending you to me. There is always a silver lining to clouds and when that cloud is as dark as the one that dropped over me the silver lining is so much appreciated. YOU beloved one are talented, beautiful and I should be tremendously jealous of you but instead I am just amazed and delighted that you share your jewels of thought with us. Forget you never X x x x x x Mushy X x x x x x x x Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
