Topic: Protector (12/05/24)
An angel comes to guard my life.
I do not know his name.
I’ve never seen him, heard his voice,
But he’s there just the same.

He’s been close to me all the time
Across my many years
To be a witness to my joys,
Console me in my tears.

If he is near enough to touch,
I never am aware,
But when I am in need of him,
I know that he is there.

I could not buy an angel guard,
Nor could I even rent one.
The reason he takes care of me
Is that the Lord has sent him.

Of this, I’m sure, without a doubt,
He’s always at my side,
Protector, he, in troubled times
As both a friend and guide.

And when my days on earth are done,
The bonds of life, I sever,
He’ll lead me then to heaven, where
I’ll have a home forever.

I read a true story once of warriors who came to kill a group of missionaries. But they dropped their spears and ran away in fright. One came back the next day to ask, "Who were those tall men with swords behind you?" The warrior was informed they were angels. Intrigued, he wanted to know more. Once converted, that warrior witnessed to others in his village and many more came to know Christ.
It inspires awe to realize how well we are protected by our angels. Thank you for the reminder.

This is beautiful. Poetry isn't my favorite genre, but this piece is definitely one of my favorites I've read, this week, thus far. It flows from the page right into my heart and blesses me in ways I could never explain.

I often envision angels with me when things are scary while driving or shopping. Even though I can't see them, it's comforting to know that God is watching over me.

Congratulations on your EC! Happy Dance! (You're right, you are making me like poems more and more each time I read a piece of yours. You're awesome. ?)
