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 To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

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 ((Marsha)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

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 Floria |
