Each time you walk out the door,
I pray that a band of ministering angels
will hover around you and protect you
and shield you from harm.
I pray that God will go with you wherever you go,
and you will come back to me safe and sound.
I am thankful for you every moment of my life,
and my prayer is to be with you forever.
These thoughts may sound
like something I've said before,
but I don't care if I repeat myself.
I just wanted to tell you one more time,
one more way, how very much I love you.
And if my love is any protection,
you will always be safe,
my prayer will be answered,
and no harm will ever dare to come near you.

(Sikhism)
(According to the Mahometan system.)
The first heaven, says Mahomet,
is of pure silver,
and here the stars are hung out
like lamps on golden chains.
Each star has an angel for warder.
In this heaven "the prophet" found Adam and Eve.
The second heaven, says Mahomet,
is of polished steel and dazzling splendour.
Here "the prophet" found Noah.
The third heaven, says Mahomet,
is studded with precious stones
too brilliant for the eye of man.
Here Azrael, the angel of death, is stationed,
and is for ever writing in a large book
or blotting words
out.
The former are the names of persons born,
the latter those of the newly dead.
The fourth heaven, he says,
is of the finest silver.
Here dwells the Angel of Tears,
whose height is "500 days' journey,"
and he sheds ceaseless tears for the sins of man.
The fifth heaven is of purest gold,
and here dwells the Avenging Angel,
who presides over elemental fire.
Here "the prophet" met Aaron.
The sixth heaven is composed of Hasala,
a sort of carbuncle.
Here dwells the Guardian Angel
of heaven and earth,
half-snow and half-fire.
It was here that Mahomet saw Moses,
who wept with envy.
The seventh heaven,
says the same veritable authority,
is formed of divine light
beyond the power of tongue to describe.
Each inhabitant is bigger
than the whole earth,
and has 70,000 heads,
each head 70,000 mouths,
each mouth 70,000 tongues,
and each tongue speaks 70,000 languages,
all for ever employed in chanting
the praises of the Most High.
Here he met Abraham.
To be in the seventh heaven.
Supremely happy.
The Cabbalists maintained that
there are seven heavens,
each rising in happiness above the other,
the seventh being the abode of God.
The term heaven was used anciently
to denote the orb or sphere in which
a celestial body was supposed to move,
hence the number of heavens varied.
According to one system,
the first heaven was that of the Moon,
the second that of Venus,
the third that of Mercury,
the fourth that of the Sun,
the fifth that of Mars,
the sixth that of Jupiter,
the seventh that of Saturn,
the eighth that of the "fixt" or firmament,
and
the ninth that of the Crystalline.
The heaven of heavens is a Hebrewism term
used to express the highest of the heavens,
the special residence of Jehovah.
He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Psalm 91:4
He shall give his angels charge over thee
to keep thee in all they ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Psalms 91:11-12
Who provides for the raven his food?
When his young ones cry unto God.
Job 38:41
