But when his head begins to nod
I must be mistaken,
And bless the days with sunshine warm and nights with cooling rain.
And when you thought a broken heart was more than you could bear . . .
God comes to us in many forms
Holding out a hand to you
For lovely song is to the heart
A whisper o encouragement
When light fall
A stranger seems to be at hand right in your time of need
Until it's suddenly replaced with Heavens' perfect peace.
There are angels for encouragement, and guidance, and protection
Lord…send some skinny angels
Encamp them all about the stove and by the fridge's door
I know no matter how I look…I'm still Your work of art…
How I ever got this way…only heaven knows!
My tired soul yearns for the arms of a celestial friend.
My questions could be answered if together we could be.
And are your eyes as blue as skies
Little children play together laughing through the days
A Little Angel's telling you that everything's alright.
As she gently reached for him
Linger not, my little child
All its life I cherished it I saw in it a beauty.
For all that are touched by Angels . . . here is a selection for you!

My precious guardian angle; My someone in the sky . . .
Gabriel of all my dreams; you soothe me in my sorrow . . . And
Understand when I am weak with strength for each tomorrow.
A mighty hand that pulls me back from in the jaws of death . . . Also
It takes God's children far too long to realize you're there.
Near at hand to dash me up and help me break my fall.
Angel with your mighty wings you fan me when I'm faint
Night and day you stand at watch with patience of a Saint.
Ever will I offer praise unto that throne above.
Loving you and trusting you, My weary soul to keep.
You do not want your
GUARDIAN ANGEL
to see.

Near He sends an Angel down

Near again
God sends His Guardian Angels to each one of us in love

Each time we call upon Him asking answers from above.
Love conquers all life's worries and eliminates your fears
Showing mercy and compassion

drying all your tears.
Unexpectedly He sends His Angels without warning.
In times you feel so all alone and life has been unkind . . .
Draw nearer to the spirit

and you'll feel Him close behind.
Impressions of His promises

you'll feel in many things

Nothing soothes the soul like satisfaction Heaven brings.
Guess whose there

just when you feel an answer can't be found ?
At hand with the right answer

for a question that's unsolved

Negotiating desperately

until it's been resolved.
Devoted friend, companion,

Each time you open up your heart and touch a gentle soul.
Before you are aware of it, your wings begin to grow.
Each time you share your love with others…unconditionally,
Your wings grow even bigger for everyone to see.
Small deeds go unnoticed and soon a halo glows.
We hear celestial music that heaven only knows.
Grace is given to us from our Father up above.
It's a sign of His humility. A gift of His true love.
So walk the path with Jesus feel the power of His worth
Be compassionate and loving
Be an

with a blast of trumpets
or a rustle of wings . . .
I've known them just the same.
They performed their acts in human guise,
sometimes borrowing the faces of family and friends,
sometimes posing as well meaning strangers.
You have known them , too,
when just the right word was needed,
when a tiny act of kindness made a great difference . . .
or perhaps you heard a voice
whispering in a night of sorrow,
the words not quite clear
but the meaning unmistakable - -
“There is hope . . .

How all the answers could be ours if only we believe.
Each special favor given from the Father up above . . .
Need not be taken lightly if we honor it above.
Never fails to comfort in a tome we need it most.
Graciously they guide us even though we may not know
Embracing us in mercy while we must be here below.
Listen to a still, small voice

or gentle guiding touch

Soft and gentle wooing in a time it means so much.
An unexpected someone sends a smile across the phone.
Listen for an unsuspecting knock at your front door
Kindness comes to offer hope and joy to us once more.
Minutes later
Or feel a warmth and presence when there's not a soul around . . .
No one near to give advice

yet answers still are found.
Grace is given to us for some things we can't release
So look up to the Heavens
Of the bridge of happiness

Lord…I've read that angels come to us in many ways
©
There are angels for our healing and they light our
Darkened days.
There are even angels for our pets
©
because we need affection
Tarry not, for one more day just may be one too late.
I need to feel their presence here beside me every hour
©
That I may follow all their leads to give me some will power
For they alone can understand the pain affliction brings…
Rejection and the ridicule and all unpleasant things.
So when I've had enough to eat, I won't desire more.
As man looks on the outside, Lord, but You look in the heart.
Lord send some 'Skinny Angels'

There could never be another . . .
Quite as dedicated as
Our Precious One
Called Mother.
* Poetry by: Lindsey Smit©
Her heavenly touch is a symbol of love.
Her job is to love and to give special care
But with this woman there is so much more there
The attention she shows is so true and so real
It's like nothing else you could ever feel
Her personality makes her so outgoing
And respect for you she'll never quit showing.
She'll walk with you through good times and bad
And she'll dry your tears when you're feeling sad.
She's given so much . . . her time energy and care
When you need to talk she always has time to spare
She listens so close and holds you so tight
When you are lost she shows you the light
She could never compare to any other
And I thank God that she's

whom my soul so sweetly keep.
Troubles grip me through the day that, seem to have no end.
Each night I try to visualize my angels' glowing face.
Making plans together in a quiet peaceful place.
Embracing every precious dream

together that we share
Enveloping my spirit in a cloud of living care.
Tonight would be a perfect night! Dear Lord
©
oh don't you see?
Your locks-are they as golden as the sunshine on the plain?
Now maybe you have flowing hair as dark as midnight skies.
Gleaming stars that speak of God
©
through deep, soft, ebony eyes.
Enchanting thoughts surround me in this heavenly mystery.
Longing for the one who faithfully takes care of me.

Enchanting beauty where the birds just sing away the hours.
A place where angels picnic and where little children dwell
Vivid butterflies flit by and everyone is well,
Every little child that the Lord calls home to rest…
Near to Him in perfect peace they're all especially blessed.
Since passing into paradise is just another phase.
In passing, we just graduate into a higher calling,
Tears are never heard of there and you won't see them falling
They day one little star for every little child will shine.
Letting all their loved ones know that they are well and fine.
Each time you see a rainbow with the colors clear and bright.
Never listen to the thoughts that devastate your heart….
God's word guides our spirit so we'll never be apart
Especially those we cherished so, for in His garden there
Let us all rejoin someday, in love we'll always share.

Never fear for 'I LOVE YOU'

Please let me set you free.”

Sunshine warms the meadows fair

Up above the billowy clouds so free from pain and care.
Leave the past behind you, now

for your Dear Father waits
Longing so to greet you soon…at Heavens' Garden Gates.
As she hemmed the lullaby

the child closed his eyes.
Below his loved ones grieved…for it was hard to realize…That

In a place where loved ones meet

Angels . . .

Even though I nurtured it I'd never see it grow.
Each petal as it took its' form grew sweeter everyday.
Never would I'd guess it would so quickly fade away.
Now my heart is empty for it meant the world to me.
God always has a purpose for He brought it through each season.
Embracing it in icy winds for His own special reason.
Loving it through times I thought I'd never find a way.
Until the day He plucked my rose for
Heavens sweet bouquet.
