AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED
An Angel of the Lord appeared
My child I heard you pray,
Just tell to me what your problem is
I’ll help in any way.
I cannot see my way ahead
I cannot find the light,
I do not know which way to walk
Or what path for me is right.
My days all seem so dark and drear,
Forgive me if I mope.
When all around seems hopeless
Its hard to find some hope.
The Angel of the Lord he said
But you do not walk alone,
Just share with me your problems
And soon you’ll find them gone.
I now talk to my Angel
And share with him each day,
All the troubles and joys I have
When I kneel down and pray.

AN ANGEL VISITED ME LAST NIGHT
An Angel visited me last night,
She filled my room with light
I gazed at her in wonder
It was a glorious sight.
Why have you come to visit me
And I heard her gently say,
You have walked the spirit way of life
And I walk with you each day.
But you are not alone my child,
To have an Angel by your side,
Everyone who walks the mortal path
All have a spirit guide.
Each has a Guardian Angel
To guide them on their way.
Someone to walk beside them
As they travel each long day.
To show them how to do their best
To prove to all their worth.
To use each day as well as they can
And not waste their time on earth.
You all have lessons you must learn
Before returning home once more.
To join with all the others
Who have walked this way before.
So you too could have an Angel
Who might visit you tonight
Calling unexpectedly
To fill your room with light.

I HAVE A TALE THAT MUST BE TOLD
I have a tale that must be told
Said an Angel in a gown of gold,
I have to tell you this very night
That everyone must be given the right.
To understand that they all live on
It is only the body that has gone.
Its only a shell that has done its task
There’ s nothing more that we can ask.
Its our soul you see that never dies
I do not come here telling lies,
But many on your land they doubt
There are many of them round about.
But to teach the truth there is a way
And all we ask is that every day
You speak to another and gently say
I wish to help, to show you the way
To join with the others who all believe
That when loved ones pass, they do not leave
They only move on through an open door
And they can still see us evermore.
They smile on us and send us love
From that glorious Kingdom of Heaven above
So take this tale that I have told
Speak to the young and to the old.
Then someday in the future, all can understand
That when we die, we all move on, to this other land.

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all,
As your reflection comes in to view,
What do you see looking back at you.
A face full of frowns and a wrinkled brow,
I’ll have to get through this day somehow.
Why does everything happen to me
When everyone else gets off scot free.
Another scowl and a comb through my hair
Why should I bother, no one will care.
I have a quick shower, now what will I wear,
Back into my room and across to the chair.
Lying there is a feather so white,
A gift from an Angel during the night.
Someone cares, I am not on my own
Suddenly I don’ t seem quite so alone.
I glance in my mirror what do I see
A lovely smile shining back at me.
And all of a sudden I am aware
That my Angel walks with me everywhere.

AN ANGEL VISITED ME ONE NIGHT.
An Angel visited me one night,
She was a vision of shining light.
I couldn’t believe what I could see
And asked her why she came to me.
“ We Angels all have many tasks
And come to anyone who asks.
When you say your prayers each day
We always listen to what you say.”
“ You ask for help for those in need,
Those who hunger, you ask we feed,
You ask that minds and bodies mend
And love to all you ask we send.”
“ Give hope to those who live in fear,
To those who feel no one is near.
Give comfort to the ones who grieve,
Show their loved ones never leave.”
“ I come to thank you for your prayers,
Of concerns for others that you share.
To thank you for your words of love,
When you ask for help from up above.”
“ As many on this mortal soil
Do not care if others toil.
They do not look around and see,
Their daily cry is , me, me, me.”
“If all could change their point of view,
Caring for others, just like you,
This world would be a better place,
With contented smiles on every face.”

“But you do not walk alone,
Just share with me your problems,
And soon you’ll find them gone.”
I now talk to my Angel,
When I kneel down and pray
The troubles and the joys I have,
I share with him each day.
I know that when I talk to him
He listens to what I say.
And problems that I maybe have,
He helps to take away.
