Angel Poems

This will consist of some of my favorite poems about angels that we have in our collection.

An angel wrote:

Last night I had a dream;

It had a tale to tell.

I dreamed I saw an angel;

Poor thing, he wasn't feeling well.

His body bruised and battered

His wings were ripped and torn--

This angel could hardly walk,

He looked so tired and worn.

I walked right up to him to ask;

Angel? How can this be?

He turned around and paused a (bit),

Then he spoke these words to me:

"I'm your Guardian Angel,

A great task as you can see.

You've run amok most all your life:

Look what it's done to me.

These bruises are from shielding you

In times both dire and ill.

Those alcoholic bouts and drugs you've used

I've often paid the bill

You see my wings are ripped and torn;

A noble badge I wear;

How often they have flown you

From evils unaware.

Each mark is it's own story

Of deadly wounds destroyed.

You made me wish--more than once-

That I was unemployed.

If only you could make it

Standing on your own;

Oh, don't you fret or worry--

But please try to remember--

I'm getting old and frail.

I could not believe all I had heard,

Let alone how much he cared.

I wept upon his shoulder,

Then left him in despair.

The next day I sat and pondered:

Should I really try?

And in the distance I thought I heard;

A frail old angel cry.

Guardian Angel

A guardian angel

Flew down from above,

To teach me a lesson

About the powers of love.

She whispers to me,

Take a hold of my hand,

There are so many things

I wish you to understand.

About the powers of love,

And all it can do,

To someone who needs

To share it with you.

A pat on the back,

A kind smile on your face,

Can make someone's life,

A much brighter place.

It doesn't take much,

To show someone you care,

To give them the love,

God gave you to share.

So please keep in mind,

All the powers you possess,

To grace someone's life,

When they're in distress.

You've been put on this earth

To bestow the powers of love,

And with those final words,

She disappeared up above.

Why Angels have come

Angels have come to bring with them,

In thought and deed and, also, hymn

The message of God and His Wisdom great

His love, His wants for all our fate.

They bring on high their protection strong

To guide us all when things go wrong

To teach us patience when none exists

To help us see what blindness missed

To help us hear what deafness hides

To help us feel what touch denies

To give us peace when fighting's round

To fill us with love when hates abound

To encourage the feeling of a want to give

A feeling with which we all should live.

So in this season's darkest night

Within our souls doth shine a light

To warm us with forgiveness and sharing

And with compassion and, also, caring.

All these are sent from heaven divine

For the angels have brought them, 'tis God's Design.
