What do Angels Look
Like ?
Like the little old lady who
returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told
you
your eyes light up the world,
when you smile.
Like the small child who showed
you
the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered
to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed
you it
really is all possible
if you believe.
Like the stranger who just
happened to come along,
when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched
your heart,
when you didn't
think you had one left to
touch.
Angels come in all sizes and
shapes,
All ages and skin types.
Some with freckles,
some with dimples,
some with wrinkles,
Some without.
They come disguised as
friends,
enemies,
teachers,
students,
lovers
and fools.
They don't take life too seriously,
They travel light.
They leave no forwarding address,
They ask for nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer
wings,
They get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when
your eyes are closed,
But they are everywhere you
look
when you choose to see.
