Would She be Strong Enough?
Virginia Salter

Could one make an angel
out of sugar and spice?
Might she face all the tragedies,
the maladies, the vice?

Would she be strong enough
to stand the strongest storm?
Or protect a new babe
on the day he was born?

When concocting an angel,
perhaps seek elements of steel
To face the day-to-day world
and its harmful appeal.

Yet steel that’s not tempered
with practiced use and command
Has not wisdom nor ability
to provide what’s needed to stand.

Suffice it to say
and to say it quite well;
Only God makes an angel
that can shield us from hell.

Through out my life if not for the hand of God I would never have made it. Great writing.
Love and light,
