My Ten Angels
Ten angels walk beside me,
each and every day.
Ten angels help guide me,
to give comfort and protect.
They have been my compaions since I was very young.
Now you may ask me, why Ten>
Do you think you are special?
Why not one, or two, or three?
Why Ten?
Surely you don't need so many?
All of us know Faith, Hope and Charity.
They are wonderful angels all so overworked!
But there are seven more you see,
and each and everyone gives comfort and protects.
The fourth angel,
Is the angel I call Tolerance.
Whom I fear we do not use enough,
for if we did,
there would not be any bigotry or hate.
The next angel
is the one I call Forgiveness,
who is under utilized as well.
Who among us could not do with more
Forgiviness in our hearts.
Then we have the angel
I call Beauty.
We all see so much ugliness in life.
I don't know a single soul who couldn't do with
more Beauty in their life.
The next two angels,are the twins,
I call Joy and Happiness.
They are most often seen
walking hand in hand.
My favorite angel is the one
I call Friend.
This little angel is the one
who can bring real riches to our lives.
I have often heard her saying,
"To have a friend, one must first be a friend."
And do you know, it works!
And last but in no way least,
is the angel, I call Love.
Sometimes she seems so shy,
and it seems like she is sleeping.
But she is always near.
If you would open up your hearts
and just see her standing there.
For if we did, then all the other Angels
would be easier to see.
