This is the first time i've been on this page in a long time. I guess you could call me a silent reader- but this poem is amazing. Very well thought out and well written. i loved it- just thought i'd let you know- totally awesome-Kay

Almost every one of us
>
> Was told when we were small
> That we have a Guardian Angel
> Who loves us most of all
>
> She pictured hers as very tall
> With long and flowing hair
> Dressed in robes of snowy white
> He went with her everywhere
> His wings were of a silvery hue
> With tips all shiny gold
>
> She knew he'd always be with her
> She believed what she was told
> He guarded her from dangers
> Even those she couldn't see
> Secretly she told herself,
> "That's how much God loves me!"
> Before her bedtime every night
> Till she was almost ten
> She said her Guardian Angel Prayer
> Faithfully and then
>
> She started to grow older
> Glimpsed what the future had in store
> Then one day when she looked around
> She couldn't see him anymore.......
> But as her life went slowly by
> She leaned on God in trust
> Never forgetting to do the things
> That the Bible says we must....
> Times were sometimes very hard,
> She was widowed at thirty-one
> She prayed for strength and guidance
> And God helped her raise three sons
> Then in the twinkling of an eye
> Almost sixty years had passed
> Her sons had long since grown and gone
> The years flew by so fast
>
> Was it when she wasn't looking?
> She thought, "I've always been around...
> How could all that time go by
> And never make a sound? "
> Then one night as she said her prayers
> Feeling old and on her own
> She heard a familiar voice that said,
> "You have never been alone!"
> She looked around in wonder
> And sitting calmly in a chair
> Was her childhood guardian angel
> She'd have known him anywhere!!
> "Where've you been?" she had to ask
> Though fearing his reply....
> He smiled gently, "I've been right here....
> I've not once left your side!!
> I used to love it when you'd say
> That angel prayer at night
> But though that stopped, you still remained
> My charge in Heaven's sight"
> The woman cried and bowed her head
> Weeping tears of bitter shame
> "After all these years, I have no right
> To even ask your name!"
> The Guardian Angel then reached down
> Wiped away her tears and smiled
> "My name is Jacob...your faith's as strong
> As when you were a child!"
> "I've watched over and protected you
> Since the moment of your birth
> Even now it still amazes me
> What a soul like yours is worth!!"
> "Even now?" the woman asked
> "Am I about to die?"
> The angel chuckled, then he said
> "What you're about to do is fly!
> Away from all this earthly pain
> For your faith will give you wings
> And when we reach the gates of Heaven
> You'll hear a million angels sing!
> For faith like yours has always caused
> A celebration up above.....
> Where God Himself waits to welcome you
> And shower you with His love!"
