The Difference In Angels



Have you ever-noticed how different some folk are?
Not a difference of location not whether near or far
Some people are so pompous they live far too seriously
It's as if they’ve forgotten how to live with simplicity
They tie themselves in knots getting the latest this or that
Spending oodles of money for some stupid bit of tat
While others mouths are hungry, they don’t have very much
I'll tell you this my friend they have the human touch

Then there are the people who act like the only ones in pain
They say ‘I’m so unfortunate that all it does is rain’
They'll tell you they have bad luck their life is always sad
Then go on to tell you why every little thing goes bad
They'll beg for your compassion and ask you to assist
Rarely giving a thought to those tragedy has kissed
They don't look at what they have but others can and do
I'll tell you this my friend I wouldn't be them would you?

Occasionally you'll meet real angels who in this place abide
You have to look closely because their miracles they hide
They don't expect trumpets, or bellow hey look at me
In fact their daily miracles are performed surreptitiously
They keep quiet about the things they do, rarely say a word
But listen very carefully and you'll see that HE has heard
These the quiet angels who come and go without a sound
And I'll tell you this my friend we need more of them around

Marsha, darling girl. It's very true. You are at the very top of my angel list. And I will shout it from the mountain tops. And this is an exceptionally perceptive and well written poem. It delightfully mirrors the marvelous Mushy that I've grown to know! I love you. xo

Marsh, this is by far, the most beautiful poem I have ever read. Each and every word I read I kept bowing my head, yes, yes, yes, and there are many angels on this earth who walk among us unknown. God told us that we might entertain angels unaware. We never know who they are, but they most certainly arent the ones always complaining. Lovely write, and I so enjoyed it. floria
