LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM-
IT HAD A TALE TO TELL
I DREAMED A SAW AN ANGEL;
POOR THING, HE WASNT FEELING WELL.


HIS BODY WAS 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 ROUND AND PAUSED A BIT,
THEN HE SPOKE THESE WORDS TO ME.

IM YOUR GARDIAN ANGEL,
A GREAT TASK AS YOU SEE;
YOUVE RUN AMOK ALL OF YOUR LIFE
LOOK WHAT YOUVE DONE TO ME.

THESE BRUISES ARE FROM SHEILDING YOU
IN TIMES BOTH DIRE AND ILL
THOSE ALCOHOLIC BOUTS AND DRUGS YOUVE USED
IVE OFTEN PAID THE BILL.

YOU SEE MY WINGS ARE RIPPED AND TORN,
HOW OFTEN THEY HAVE FLOWN YOU
FROM EVILS UNAWARE
EACH MARK IS ITS 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, DONT YOU FRET OR WORRY,
BUT PLEASE TRY TO REMEMBER-
IM GETTING OLD AND FRAIL.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE ALL I HEARD
LET ALONE HOW MUCH I CARED
I WEPT UPON HIS SHOULDER,
THEN LEFT HIM IN DESPAIR.

THE NEXT DAY I SAT AND POUNDERED
SHOULD I REALLY TRY?
AND IN THE DISTANCE, I THOUGHT I HEARD.......




A FRAIL OLD ANGEL CRY.

i saw this and thought i would sent it to my son

Very touching, Jean. Thanks for sharing. I think it would be good to send. Sometimes our children don't realize how protected they are. Thanks be to God, His angels, our prayers, and the prayers of Jesus who lives to make intercession on our behalf.

With love,

wow , that made me cry ....

That is beautiful, made me cry too. Thanks for posting it.

Beautiful! thanks for sharing.
