they are always looking down upon us."

"Guardian angels are perhaps
the most popular kind,
probably because we all know
how fragile life can be.
We desperately need protection

I suspect that half of them are really

"When I was a child I thought I saw an angel.
It had wings and kind of looked like my sister.
I opened the door so some light could come
into the room, and it sort of faded away.
My mother said it was probably

An Angel on My Shoulder
(An Old-World Ballad)
(An Old-World Ballad)
Along the edge of the world at night
in the light of the Lord’s candle
somebody is wandering alone
with an angel on his shoulder.
He’s walking towards nowhere, to non-return,
he’s walking lazily like a child,
and the gray pendulum of life
prods him from behind,
so he won’t roam at night
in the light of the Lord’s candle,
so he won’t ramble around
with an angel on his shoulder.
A whirling wind blows,
a pestilential Herod howls,
the pendulum is striking stronger,
the barely alive angel is moaning.
But he keeps going on and on,
though the candle’s no longer breathing,
just his lips quiver:
Angel, don’t fall from my shoulder.

Has it ever happened that you escaped
some kind of calamity or bad outcome
and afterward tried to understand but
couldn't explain your near miss?
Perhaps some hidden sense inside you
warned of coming disaster, and you heeded
the prompt unaware of it's nature.
Perhaps there be angels guarding you.
Perhaps there be angels among us.
When we worship God,
our angels add their prayers
and turn our single voices
into hundred-part harmony.

Shelby Flint - 1961
Got an angel on my shoulder
Got a penny in my pocket
And I found a four leaf clover
And I put it in my locket
Wished on all the stars above me
And I caught the nearest rainbow
Gonna find someone to love me
Gonna find someone to love
Well I tossed a lot of nickels in the wishing well
And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell
I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed
But a warm and tender love is all I need
And I want a love that lingers
And a strong one through and through
So I´m gonna cross my fingers
That I´ll find a boy who loves me true
And I´m gonna love him too

Make
yourself familiar with the angels,
and behold them frequently in
spirit;
for, without being seen,
they are present with you.

angels give us our privacy."

The
golden moments in the stream of life
rush past us and we see nothing
but sand;
the angels come to visit us, and we only
know them when they
are gone.
George Elliot
It
is not known precisely where angels dwell —
whether in the air, the
void, or the planets.
It has not been God's pleasure that we
should be
informed of their abode.
Voltaire
All God's angels come to us disguised.
James Russell Lowell
someone to love,
some work to do,
a bit o' sun,
a bit o' cheer,
and a guardian angel always near."
Irish blessing
