Blessed By Angels

All night long, the angels teem
Above your bed, so you will dream
Of golden fields, where flowers grow
And let their petalled faces show.
Of misty air where butterflies
And colored birds, adorn the skies.
Of silvery falls and quiet ponds,
Where weeping willows trail their fronds
And in the morning hush, the dew,
Is winking rainbows back at you.
So when I dream of lovely things
And feel the peacefulness it brings,
I know that angels blessed my sleep
And brought me memories to keep!





Betty Lou
Hebert

I am truly blessed just reading your poem.
I looked up the word teem in the dictionary just to see the exact definition, and this is what is shows.
Teem: To pour out or empty
So... all those lovely dreams are poured out over us! Isn't that a lovely thought?

floria:  Angels and the possibility of them,
are endlessly fascinating.  I personally do believe they exist and watch over us.

This is sheer delight to read, I mean it.  The flow, words, everything.
I'm pretty dry right now and I guess it will return........
