On the wings of angels.
As you look up to the sky, you can see spirits flying high.
They soar toward the place of their rest, to God's loving embrace.
We never see them acquire the means by which they ascend.
But do feel their presence in our lives.
On the wings of angels do our hearts feel grace.
And by this know that we have a helping hand.
Although we can not see or readily feel them,
We know that God has blessed us with love.
A kiss or a hug from a stranger.
Help where you thought there was none.
A feeling of being safe and watched.
Peace and love where there should be nothing.
All signs of someone or something present
Guarding us and leading us through
Showing us the way to the light
And carrying us when we fall.
Throughout our lives we have felt, near misses and doubt.
Only to find that we were never alone.
And have the hope that we too shall one day
Fly with the wings of angels.
