Entertaining Angels

"They are white wing-ed creatures" many say,

but no beauty do these beings display,

no satin cloak, not light of array.

But more likely to be a bum on the street,

A common passerby you meet,

Someone you wouldn't bother to greet.

He may offer encouraging words, a helping hand,

often misunderstood for a selfless man;

just another good Samaritan.

That's why the Scriptures say to prepare

by always caring for a stranger's welfare

for we may be entertaining angels unaware.

I love it. I have often thought about this concept.

"I have a female soul

and my spirit carries me gently facilely.

My wings fluttering in the wind.

And I rise up higher and higher.

I am flying towards the sun ... I'm an Angel"
Nice poem !!!!

This is beautifully spoken, and reflecting so well the intention of Scripture... We may never know but should always be aware of angels around us. So encouraging to read!
