ANGELS WITHOUT WINGS

Angels without wings;
Who are they, when do they appear?
And who sends them when we need them most???

Angels without wings;
As unexpected friends and even strangers,
Appearing at the times of our greatest needs,
 With the answers to our quests, to our unspoken yearnings.
 Not solicited, but most appreciated,
Giving freely of themselves, small favours,
But to us, the most miraculous of deeds..

Angels without wings;
One of the Creators ways of prompting,
When He reminds us of His boundless love.
These angels come totally unbidden,
 but all the same most welcome,
When God lets us know,
That He cares for us, ALWAYS, ALWAYS...

Angels without wings;
The friend who lends a listening ear unbidden,
Even when our needs were so hidden.
The gent who pointed out the way,
 When we got lost amidst the fray.
The passer by who answered our cry for help,
 with not a thought of what it might cost.

Angels without wings:
The lady who drove an unconscious accident victim to hospital,
 Contacted the victims family and friends by phone,
But left no name.
The boy who knocked on a strangers door,
Offering a smile, a leaflet of hope,
That stopped them taking that last fatal step to suicide...
The gent who went out of his way to return my rather expensive phone last night,
When there was nothing stopping him from keeping it for himself.

Angels without wings;
 I know I have met one or two in my life,
 I may have even been one sometime, perhaps.
They happen upon us not because we're deserving,
Not even because we are believing.
 But because God loves us so dearly,
 And as He holds our lives in His hands,
 He knows when we are most in need,
And sends us those kind and wonderful helping hands.

Angels without wings:
So let's listen to those promptings in our souls,
That urge us to reach out to friends, relatives and even strangers,
 Cos we never know when we too might become,
 Angels without wings...
My little Angel has lost one it's wings...
