Inspirational Verse

Guardian Angels
by Mary L. Sparks

I believe in Guardian angels,
Of beings filled with care;
For when a child's in trouble,
They magically are there.

It takes a Guardian angel
To speak up for a child;
To hold their hands and tell them,
In a voice gentle and mild,

That the angel works for their protection,
Gives them a voice within a trial,
And sees each of them as something more
Than just a name within a file.

"The children are important!"
Is the angel's battle creed.
"We must serve their best interests
And keep them safe, and without need!"

For the Guardian angels' wisdom
Lets them know without a doubt
That each child is God's blessing,
What the world can't live without.

The Guardian angels' gifts are many,
They are blessed to the core.
They give their precious gift of time
And then give a little more.

I believe in Guardian angels,
Of beings filled with care;
For when a child's in trouble,
They magically are there.

These angels have no haloes,
Nor wings with which to fly;
They're kind of hard to tell apart
From any other guy.

They come in every color,
And shapes and sizes too;
And when you look into the mirror,
There's one staring back at you!
