Do I believe in Angels

As a favor I am posting this on behalf of someone very dear to me.  Yes it is very much religious as the title suggest, but it personally means something to me.  Hear it out, it's good. 

Do I Believe in Angels?

By Bradley Dean Freeze

Do I believe in Angels

That are here upon this earth?

Are they elderly with hair of gray,

Or arrived here fresh from birth?

Do they all have wings of sparkling white,

With halos like a crown?

Do they stand before us filled with light in a pillar shining down?

Do they all wear tunics white as snow

With brightness like the sun?

Are they loved ones from across the veil

To help us every one?

Do we need them while were here on earth

To help us bear out strain?

I know one went to Gethsemane

To comfort Christ in pain.

We cannot know we cannot tell

Hi pains that day to bear

But the angels saw and in reverence

Bowed and wept while he was there.

At the garden tomb where Christ had laid

Three days in death had slept.

Tow angels spoke to Mary there

While in sadness knelt and wept

When Christ was born in Bethlehem

The shepherds saw them too

They heard the Alleluia’s ring

From angels’ voices true.

How many of life ups and downs

We think we’re born alone

While looking back now humbly

We see what God had done.

Angels come to us from God

And places near and far

To help us in our times of need

We’re God’s children are

Some dress in finer clothing

In suit and tie and vest.

Some come to us in uniform

A badge upon their chest

Some dress in Khaki, olive-drab

Or white or navy blue

They guard us as we sleep at night

Protecting me and you

Other time they’re simple souls

Whose goal is tried and true

To give God’s children peace and hope

An “Angel” could be “you”.
