These Are the Angels of Earth
Sometimes in the journeys
Of our lives,
We come across people
Who have a spirit about them,
An aura so to speak,
That shines so brilliantly and warm
That we are colored
Amber in their glow
And soothed by their presence
These are the Angels of Earth
The ones whom God has chosen
To live among us
They live an earthly
Life in human bodies
Just like we do,
But they really are not
Of this world.
Their only purpose
Is to bring happiness,
Share kindness,
Offer helping hands,
And open hearts
These are the Angels of Earth
The ones who bring comfort,
Who light the way,
Like a guide, of sorts,
On the paths that we take.
They feed us when we are hungry,
They feed our souls too.
Bring us water when we thirst
That never runs dry
Continually, they give of themselves
Never asking for anything in return
But for us to pass on the gifts
Of kindness to others
We meet along the way
These are the Angels of Earth
They offer solace in our suffering,
A comforting embrace,
A shoulder to cry on,
Words of encouragement,
Tears for our sorrows
As if they were their own;
And, they are their own
These are the Angels of Earth
They are not divine;
They are not gods;
They are people
Like you and me
Who simply do
As the Lord asks them to do
"Do unto others
As you would have them
Do unto you."
The Golden Rule
So simple yet it holds
The world in its hands
It controls the lives and circumstances
Of all who live
And do not
Live by its tenets
These are the Angels of Earth
We all can be the Angels of the Earth
Each day as we leave
Our footsteps along the paths,
While our hearts are
Scattered like wildflowers
Along our trails
Offering God's beauty
To those who will just stop
And stand in the Glow
And feel the warm light
Shining on them,
Making them amber.
These are the Angels of Earth
