Where are the angels in the terror of war? Are they upon your shoulder as artillery like rain pours? Where are the angels tonight? watching closely clutching their wings of moonlight Invisible within terror, freedom reins embracing your heart beneath a cloud of pain Guiding through fear of death consoling each heartbeat each final breath as a nation mourns, children cling to mothers breast Soldiers march leaving their tearful nest. For the love of country protecting each child courage and strength against barbarism wild . . . Replacing love with anger and hate like armor upon a knight no longer can they wait They are soldiers of America soldiers of all countries weaving their souls joining forces together to let freedom toll Listen to the angels for they sing of humanity voices in our hearts until the war is done praying for each soldier mother, daughter and son.. Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once he grows up. Pablo Picasso [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 09-25-2001).] |

Beautiful thoughts...I believe the angels are always with us although at times we can become discouraged and wonder where they are...as we fight earthly battles the angels fight spiritual battles...James |

Hi Victoria, I heard it said, that when we lose a loved one, we gain an angel whose name we know. (Oprah at the Yankee game Sunday) I believe that it a good verse to help in healing. Great poem as always. May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat... |

Oh Victoria ~ Such a heartfelt write, I believe the angels were there, crying right along with the rest of us...and I believe that we should .... "Listen to the angels for they sing of humanity voices in our hearts until the war is done praying for each soldier mother, daughter and son.." Just as you said. Thanks for this... Bonnie |
