Angels By Our Side

Hush my dear, lie still and slumber, holy angels guard thy bed! Heavenly blessings without number gently falling on thy bed.

Issac Watts

What know we of the Blest above but that they sing, and that they love.

For mine angel is with you, and I myself caring for your souls.

Epistle of Jeremiah 6:7


Sandro Boticelli

So the angel that was come to talk with me held me, comforted me, and set me up upon my feet.

2 Esdras 5:15

Marc Chagall

The beautiful creature came towards us, clothed in white, and in his face such as seems the tremulous morning star...He said, "Come here at hand are the steps, and easily henceforth doth one ascend."

Dante

Gianbattista Piazzetta

All in the wild March- morning I heard the angels call; It was when the moon was setting, and the dark was over all; the trees began to whisper, and the wind began to roll, and in the wild March-morning, I heard them call my soul.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

Fly Away
By Vicster999

Fly away on golden wings,
Far from all these mortal things.

Fly to where the Angels live,
See the beauty Heaven gives.

Fly away from darkness, night,
Fly away and find the light.

Fly away your life is done,
Your endless journey has begun.

But hold your memories bittersweet,
Until once again we meet.

Fly away on golden wings,
Your heart is pure, your soul will sing.

Fly on the other shore,
Where there is peace forevermore.

Thank you dear Inda for this beautiful thread on Angels. I LOVE THEM and I am very much aware of their presence in our lives.

It is so deeply comforting to know they walk by our side! And we have our Guardian Angel, oh what joy!

My Angel (by Margherita Rueger)

You rise with dawn
and spread your wings
over my horizon.
My Angel, my morning sun!

You walk with me through the day,
watching my steps with loving eyes.
With the tender touch of
your devotion, you silently
guide my wandering,
my freedom's dance.

You lift me up into your caring arms
when my hurrying feet touch
dangerous ground.
You take over the command
and steer me safely through
impervious tracks, while
I indulge in day-light dreams.

My vividly sparkling Heavenly mate,
in hours of sadness I picture your smile.
Sweet is the awareness of my fate.
Never will I feel lost in the dark or lonely,
for I know your soothing touch of Love
brings back the Light into my heart.

In gratitude I sing this song of praise
for you my wondrous Divine guide,
you bearer of joy and peace.
And when I close my eyes
I fully trust you are never far.
In your compassionate arms I rest.
My Angel, my evening star!


Love,
Margherita

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

If that is so, then this is a site made up of Angels.

I feel that I am surrounded by angels whenever I am able to come to Givnology.



Thank you everyone for your contribution to this lovely post.

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

A new beginning, like the breath of an angel,
makes the air a little sweeter and the world
seem full of hope.

...The command to love our neighbor embraces the holy angels also, seeing that so great offices of mercy have been performed by them on our behalf.

Saint Augustine


Alessio Baldovinetti

What angel dares?


And what angel dares
To sing to me of
Beauty?

For I have touched upon
Those eyes eternal
And fell lost within their endless
Gaze-

And haunted still
My heart yet sings a wistful
Sigh of you.

Remember

Do you
Remember...
Early
Each and every morning,
As our minds
Slip
Past
The grasp of slumber,
There is a window.

Do you
Remember...
Late
Each and every evening,
As or bodies lay
Still
And asleep,
There is a window.

Do you
Remember...
Stepping through that secret
Window,
As our spirit slipped
Its shackles and we danced
Away quite freely
As the angels sang in unison...
Join us,
Join us-
And so we did.
Do you remember?And do you
Remember...


Flying through the night's
Clear sky,
Dancing wildly into heaven,
Laughing,
Leaping,
Loving.

Do you
Remember...
Walking arm in arm
With
God,
Sitting at the feet of ancient masters,
Learning lessons of the truth
Of our being,
Healing light,
And peaceful living.
Do you remember?

Do you
Remember...
Holding hands with dearest
Angels
Climbing high on sacred mountains,
Chanting prayers and holy mantras,
To the Goddess
and her sisters.
Do you remember?

Early
Each and every morning,
And
Late
Each and every night,
There is a window,
Remember.

Inda, thank you so much for posting that poem. It has always been one of my favorites of Eric's work. There is just something about that one that stirs my heart in ways I can't put into words.

Thank you dearSusan, this poem is one of my favorites as well.


Angels can be a comforting presence
when life is so unpredictable.

Anonymous

The night cries on

And the night cries on
As if alone-
Though a thousand angels
Weep along.

And these tears that fall
I gather close-
To merge and mingle as my own.

Yet still the night cries ever on.
Perhaps ten thousand tears
Will fall-
The nights,
My own,
And a thousand angels
Who weep along.

Eric P. McCarty


Albrecht Durer

Friendship angel poems :

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.

A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.

An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue..

Thanks for being my Angel my friend
I will be there for you until the end.

May the angels embrace the victims and their loved ones that suffered from the earthquake in Italy.
