Angels on my Shoulder.
I feel I often have angels on my shoulder.
When I was younger I would search for proof
by visiting
Spiritualist churches
In the hope I’d find some answers.
Today it is different.
Today it is the knowledge
that there are no coincidences.
My angels are people that I have loved
and thought I'd lost
When their physical bodies left the earth.
I don’t see them, but I hear them.
Sometimes through pieces of music
that I’ve known they’ve loved
that have suddenly arrived at a time
when it was so meaningful
For me to hear them.
It could be a letter I’ve found
That I thought might be lost
And I remember them.
There could be a picture or a conversation.
Selfishly I mainly feel my angels
when I have struggled through
A difficult moment in my life
When I have overcome
And I stop and allow myself time to reflect
I know whose wisdom as guided me.
Even during those moments of struggle
I feel whose spirits are helping me through.
I thank them too as I follow my path.
My Angels keep me strong as long
as I let those moments
into my life
Where in my mind, for fact
There are no coincidences.
