What Do Angels Look Like?
Poetry
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the the taxi driver who told you that your eyes
light up the world when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the richman who showed you it really is all possible,
if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had
lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you
had one left to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
All ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples,
Some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies, teachers, students, lovers,
and fools.
They don't ake life too seriously.
They travel light.
They leave no forwarding addresses,
They ask for nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
They get a deal in dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
But they are everywhere you look when you choose to see.
