We all have a picture in our mind <br />of what an Angel should be. <br />Artists put oils on canvas <br />to show us what their like, <br />writers use their words <br />to describe the beauty there. <br />The impression of an Angel <br />is one of a serine face, <br />golden hair and heavenly wings. <br />But what about the earth Angels, <br />those who look like you and I. <br />The stranger who comes into our lives <br />and turns it around. <br />Shows us the beauty we miss <br />when we are down, <br />who take us by the hand, <br />leading us to greater things. <br />These are the earth Angels <br />whom we’ll never see their wings. <br />Those precious strangers <br />who at times come into our lives. <br /> <br />7 July 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/earth-angels/
