Angels In Waiting

                                         
                                       Look up,and listen dear friend                                           
                                          so that I can tell you clearly                                          
                                        to open up your blinded eyes                                       
                                     and unchill your hardened heart
                                               so to witness indeed
                                                  that in your midst
                                           lies ANGELS IN WAITING.
                                               They lie in existence
                                         to find you,and shake strong
                                         the lonliness from your soul,
                              and to save you from the sorrowed hands
                                     that clutch you,and imprison you
                           in chains of your ongoing misery and despair.
                                    They will seek you out,dear friend
                                         to run your cup over with love
                             and imbed the seeds of care into your life
                             so your heart never dares to harden again.
                                           Heed this message,friend.....
                                             for if your eyes ever close,
                                     and you turn your back to the world,
                                                 your angel in waiting
                                                will shed a single tear,
                                 and disappear into the distance forever.

Scott

a touching and poignant piece. No, we never know when, who, or why, but it's always important never to take such people for granted - such as you said. A slight correction in the title, a space after the 'a' in angels. ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Handle every situation like a dog: if you can't eat it, or screw it, then piss on it and walk away!" - unknown
