How do we find meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe?
ANGELS DO EXIST YOU KNOW
Angels do exist you know
Just keep searching and you will find them.Like when I was in the hospital,
I could not care for myself.
She bathed me, changed my sheets, and brought me water.
At the end of each day, she would go home,
With, ‘God only knows what’
clinging to her feathers.The artist who paints impressions of the sun rising over a farmhouse……Angel
The poet who writes sonnets about a waitress on the subway……Angel
The mechanic who resuscitated my car for $50…… Angel
The little girl who drew her mom the picture of an angel……AngelNot all angels carry trumpets.
Once, I had one give me the finger.
I was texting while I was driving.
He said, “Please my little child,
Pay closer attention.”I believe all little babies start out as angels.
Then, something happens around two,
Not to all, but to most.
They slowly begin to forget.
But then every so often,
If just for a moment,
They remember what they are,
Their wings spring free,
If just for a moment.Like when I was waiting on tables
the morning we found out Mom had cancer.
It was all I could do to not cry.
An angel reached out and held my hand.
I don’t remember a word she said.
But I remember her eyes,
Her eyes.
I could see scars, could have been hers or could have been mine.
I could see pain, could have been hers or could have been mine.
I could see fear which I knew was mine.
But there was something else,
Something warm,
Something beautiful.
She left me a tip that morning,
$3 and a spoonful of hope,So, ask yourself,
“Who else would do such a thing?” .....Angels do exist you know.
Just keep searching and you will find them.
