Angels Watching Over Us Poem
What if Angels were called to duty every morning to help each of us face our day and to assist us in making the right choices? Their assigned mission is to help us have a better day than yesterday, to help us grow, learn, and ultimately understand the grand purpose of life. In our soul, without speaking, they remind us, “This too shall pass; it will be okay.” I wrote this one in my forties, around the early 2000s.
Angels on Duty
Did you hear your alarm this morning
Like ten thousand weights chained to our feet
We drag ourselves to the edge of our shuffled bed
White sheets wrinkled from sleep drape our legs,
With our body bent in half,
we devour heavy breaths of air
Hoping this will replenish our tired spirit,
the work of this day infects our mind
Rocking ourselves will comfort our soul,
Or so it seems…
The morning bell tolls the Angels to their duty
Wings wrapping souls is the first order of business
Their mission: to strengthen mankind’s resolve
to make today better than yesterday
They wash our light in lullabies from the world beyond
And we are unaware of our body, as though filled with air,
being lifted to a soft cloud
where whispers in our ear
give us the secret to life each and every day
We are reminded of our calling by the love we can’t see
and as we reach to erase the noise of the morning clock,
a smile of truth warms us in a freshly heated blanket
For within our being shines the gift of knowledge, that,
the world is our neighbor,
and hope is but a prayer awayANGELS ON DUTY – (Song Lyrics)
(VERSE 1)
Did you hear your alarm this morning
Like ten thousand weights chained to our feet
We drag ourselves to the edge of our bed
Sheets wrinkled from sleep drape our legs,
Our body arched over with doubt,
we devour heavy breaths of air
hoping this will replenish our tired spirit,
The weight of the day lingers in our mind,
Rocking ourselves will comfort our soul,
Or so it seems…(CHORUS)
The morning bell tolls the Angels to their duty
Wings wrapping souls is their sacred mission,
They are called to strengthen mankind’s resolve
to make today better than yesterday(VERSE 2)
While washing our light in lullabies,
Angels lift our spirit to a soft cloud,where they whisper the secret to life,
We are reminded of our calling by this love we can’t see,
As we reach to erase the noise of that morning clock,
a smile of truth warms us like a freshly heated blanket,gifting our tired spirit the courage to go on
(CHORUS)
The morning bell tolls the Angels to their duty
with their wings wrapping our soul
this invisible light guides usto make today better than yesterday
(OUTRO)
Inside our spirit
shines the gift of knowledge,
that the world is our neighbor,
and hope is but a prayer away©by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyrighted
