~ Ten Angels ~

Ten angels walk beside me,

each and every day.

Ten angels help to guide me,

to give me comfort and to protect.

They have been my companions

since I was very young.

Now you may ask me,

"Why ten?

Do you think you are so special?

Why not one, or two, or three?

Why ten?

Surely you don't need so many?"

Well, each and every angel

has a special job to do.

Yes, it seems even angels specialize.

All of us know

FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY.

They are wonderful angels,

and ALL so overworked.

But there are seven more, you see.

And each and every one

gives comfort and protects.

The Fourth angel

is the angel I call TOLERANCE

whom I fear we do not

use enough, for if we did,

there would not be any

bigotry or hate.

The next angel

is the one I call FORGIVENESS...

who is underutilized as well.

Who among us could not do

with more FORGIVENESS in our hearts?

Then we have the angel

I call BEAUTY. We all see

so much ugliness in life.

I don't know a single soul

who couldn't do with

more BEAUTY in his life.

The next two angels

are the twins I call

JOY and HAPPINESS.

They are most often seen

walking hand in hand.

My favorite angel

is the one I call FRIEND.

This little angel is the one

who can bring real riches

to our lives.

I have often heard her saying,

"To have a friend,

one must first be a friend."

And do you know...

It works!!!!!

And last, but no way least,

is the angel I call LOVE.

Sometimes she seems so shy,

and it seems like she is sleeping.

But she is always near.

If we would just open our hearts,

and just see her standing there!

For if we did,

then all the other angels

would be easier to see!

It is my belief that we

all have TEN ANGELS

walking beside us.

They are sent from our Higher Power

to see us through,

to guide, comfort, and protect us

each and every day

of our life.
