We Need Guardian Angels
Protection needed!
Our guardian angels are
Working overtime.
Surround yourself with
The love of family and friends:
Your loving angels.
Angels all around
Reach out to bring you comfort.
We all need them now!
Sanctuary lights
Highlight the angelic tones –
Angels softly play.
Angels sweetly pray
For your safety and wellness.
I pray for you, too.
Seven represents
God’s number for completion.
Seven angels sing.
She was here in this room before we bought this house.
Social distancing
Suggests we sit far apart –
Stand six feet away.
Sit in your own bowl
And do not touch anything;
Stay isolated!
Carry your concerns
Like your heart in open hands –
But wash them often.
gave us this darling flute-playing angel.
Like the Pied Piper,
Be an angel with a flute.
Compassion plays here.
She bought every angel in her nursing home’s gift shop before she died.
I gave most of them away in her memory to the friends in her care facility.
This, the largest of the collection, I kept as a reminder.
BettyDeA believed in angels!
She sits at the top of the circle staircase…
guarding my daily coming and going.
We all need angels
To guard coming and going
In this Virus-age.
The winds of change blow.
The Virus changes our world.
Hang tight to angels.
Don’t let fear freeze you.
Live in deep faith and courage.
What goodness will come?
With factories closed,
Air is clearing in China.
People create new.
New ways of thinking;
New ways of doing old things.
Appreciating!
Gratitude for the
Things we saw as common-place,
Like simple touching.
Appreciating
Arenas where we gather
For sports or speeches.
Thankfulness for the
Opportunity to dance
With wild abandon.
Now authorities,
Closing our business and schools,
Keep us from living.
We remind ourselves
It is for our greater good.
What about our jobs?
What about our plans
To travel for marriages
Or for funerals?
Our vacation plans –
Things we paid for months ago –
All of them cancelled.
In the midst of this,
Can our angels show to us
The good that’s coming?
Will our guardians
Show us tomorrow’s bright hope
In sorrow’s dark midst?
Calling All Angels!
We need your guardianship;
Save us from the doom.
What are your thoughts
about what’s happening with this Coronavirus –
and what ideas can you share
about how we can be
each others’ guardian angels?
Let me hear from you.
What’s happening in your part of the world?
