Angels descending, bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
~Fanny J. Crosby
We trust in plumed procession
For such the angels go -
Rank after Rank, with even feet -
And uniforms of Snow.
~Emily Dickinson
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.
~Richard Lovelace
Outside the open window
The morning air is all awash with angels.
~Richard Purdy Wilbur
O welcome, pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope,
Thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!

The Angels
The Angels
May angels rest beside your door,
May you hear their voices sing.
May you feel their loving care for you,
May you hear their peace bells ring.
May angels always care for you,
And not let you trip and fall,
May they bear you up on angel's wings,
May they keep you standing tall.
May they whisper wisdom in your ear,
May they touch you when you need,
May they remove from you each trace of fear,
May they keep you from feeling greed.
May they fill you with their presence,
May they show you love untold,
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold.
May they teach you what you need to know
About life here and here-after.
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter.

Dear Lord:
Could you spare some Guardian Angels
To give us peace of mind
As our Children wander from us
And stretch the ties that bind?
You have Heavenly Legions, Father
Could you send us just a few
To guide our eager youngsters
As we give them, Lord, to you .
Oh Thank you, Thank you Father
And Oh our glad hearts sings
We're certain that just now we heard
The swish of passing wings!

Guardian Angel
-- Danise Norwak Hahlbohm
I've got my Guardian Angel watching over me;
Yet I must still step carefully.
I've been given the choice to decide;
But if I'm not careful I just might slide.
The same holds true for my spiritual walk.
I must take time with Jesus daily; and talk.
Cause if I'm not careful I could fall down;
Then my feet won't be on solid ground.
So I will live my life prayerfully;
And take each step through life carefully.
Then I'll be sure to keep
My Guardian Angel
Watching over me

Psalm 91:11-12
My Guardian Angel
Dear Angel ever at my side,
how lovely you must be---
To leave your home in heaven,
to guard a child like me.
When I'm far away from home,
or maybe hard at play--
I know you will protect me,
from harm along the way.
Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you're near.
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I cannot really hear.
When I pray, you're praying too,
Your prayer is just for me.
But ,when I sleep you never do,
You're watching over me.

Angels Always There
- Sancie Earman King
Whenever I’m in fervent prayer
I feel God’s holy angels there;
Protective, loving, and serene;
Who stay nereby, tho yet unseen.
Thus, when I feel my heart might break,
I try to smile for Jesus’ sake;
Whose angels let my faith not dim
That I might see the smile of Him!

Guardian Angels
Shirley Hile Powell
God gave us each an angel
To watch over us with love.
They’re always carrying messages
To Him in Heaven above.
They warn us during danger,
Encourage us to do what is right,
And will always guard and guide us,
Throughout the day and night.
God sent them to protect us,
When crisis comes our way,
And to aid us with our problems
That we encounter every day.
Thank You, my God in Heaven,
For our Guardian Angels dear.
They’re just a token of Your love
To help us overcome life’s fears.
God's Warrior
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent of quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that sore above
Enjoy such liberty.
- Richard Lovelace

Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots, of angels.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I went forth to find an angel
And found this effort brought
That life is full of so much good
The touch that angels wrought."

A Frail Old Angel's Cry
Author Unknown
Last night I had a dream
It had a tale to tell
I dreamed I saw an angel
Poor thing, he wasn't feeling well
His body bruised and battered
His wings were ripped and torn
This angel could hardly walk
He looked so tired and worn
I walked right up to him to ask
Angel? How can this be?
He turned around and paused a bit
Then he spoke these words to me
"I'm your Guardian Angel"
A great task as you can see
You've run amok most all your life
Look what it's done to me
These bruises are from shielding you
In times both dire and ill
Those alcoholic bouts and drugs you've used
I've often paid the bill
You see my wings are ripped and torn
How often they have flown you
From evils unaware
Each mark is it's own story
Of deadly wounds destroyed
You made me wish --- more than once
That I was unemployed
If only you could make it
Standing on your own
Oh, don't you fret or worry
But please try to remember
I'm getting old and frail
I could not believe all I had heard
Let alone how much he cared
I wept upon his shoulder
Then left him in despair
The next day I sat and pondered
Should I really try?
And in the distance I thought I heard

An Angel Feather
~Author Unknown~
This is an angel feather
Sent from God above
To serve as a reminder
Of His gracious love
It's from your guardian angel
That God assigned to you
And fell out in his struggles
As he protected you
Each time you almost stumble
Each time you nearly fall
Remember to, Thank God
For answering your call
