I asked the angels to look over you <br />To shield you with their wings <br />Like a dying rose withers and a sinner has sinned <br />Both entering the darkness… both beginning an end <br />So then I asked the angels to shield you with their wings <br /> <br />I prayed to the heavens to stop your tears of pain <br />Like a silent warrior they cannot be seen <br />Your tears are flowing like rain <br />You’ve tried to cover them with laughter <br />So then I asked the angels to please <br />Please shield you with their wings <br />And to take away your pain <br /> <br />I wished on the stars to keep you safe <br />Away for the darkness devouring life, away from evil <br />Corruption and hate <br />Your soul pure and your heart more beautiful <br />Than when an angel sings <br />Once again I asked the angels to shield <br />You with their wings <br /> <br />Now there will come a time when you feel <br />The presence of nothing <br />There will come a time when you feel that you’re falling <br />There will come a time that you feel your angel has fallen <br />Fallen from broken wings <br /> <br />I will not ask the heavens and I will not ask upon the stars <br />But never fear an angel will not be far <br />Do not fear the darkness nor solitude when it sings <br />For I will be your angel and I will shield you with my wings <br /> <br />Someone once said to me, <br />“I never felt the presence of an angel” <br />Look into the heart and soul of your true friends <br />And there you will find angels shielding <br />You with their wings<br /><br />Lisa Harvey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angels-13/
