Belief In An Angel

This is old.... the beginning of my days uniting with the pen.

"If you are an angel,
Where are your wings?
Where is your dance,
And the songs you sing?

Where is the halo,
That hangs over your head?
How many times have you knelt with me,
At the side of my bed?

Have you heard all my prayers?
If so, why no resolution?
Why do I still feel alone,
In a world filled with pollution?

Where is my protection?
Where are the miracles you supply?
I try to live life with confidence,
But I am hardly getting by.

It's not that I have lost the faith,
I want you to know I still believe.
Yet as you stand before me,
There's many things I can't perceive."

"So young my child,
Wanting to know so much.
I can't believe all this time,
You never felt my touch."

"The nights by your bed,
I held you while you cried.
Any affection you were missing,
I tried to provide."

"You question my halo,
My wings, song, and dance.
Questioned why,
Your life hasn't advanced."

"But open your eyes,
And accept what you see.
For God hears you speak,
And he knows you believe."

"He's given you health,
A life, and even a child.
He's been there through your tears,
And every time you've smiled."

"You're protected from evil,
Your miracles are before you each day.
More will come in your future,
If you continue to pray."

"I am with you always,
Never will I leave your side.
When you can't see me stand before you,
It is within you I reside."

Loved this. I'm a fan of two voices within a poem. It enhances the dramatic effects. If this was your start, it's truly a fine piece of work for someone starting to be one with the ink that binds us all. This reminded me, in a way, of the way DMX had "Prayer" tracks on some of his first albums, where he played two voices. One of himself and one of God responding.

Nice write, LL. Nice to see the old joints.

Loved the flow and rhyme of this piece.

The ending of the conversation kind of brought the old Footprints in the sand poem to mind. For what it's worth I also noticed that the angel gave a longer explanation than your questions. But I guess that angels are pretty much like people.

this is so wonderful,you ask where stand...
cant feel you by my side....
Where is my protection?
Where are the miracles you supply?
I try to live life with confidence,
But I am hardly getting by.

[Maria Retz]

A brilliant idea to first hear the soul praying and then the angel answering.

I really, really liked this poem

"So young my child,
Wanting to know so much.
I can't believe all this time,
You never felt my touch."

"The nights by your bed,
I held you while you cried.
Any affection you were missing,
I tried to provide."

Amazing lines

[Nancy Lee Shrader]

What a beautiful question and answer piece. How many have questioned if a guardian angel watches over them. This poem is a beautiful entry to my contest. Thanks for sharing.

Question:

Where is my protection?
Where are the miracles you supply?
I try to live life with confidence,
But I am hardly getting by.

I like the depiction where initially your viewers will think your literally referring to an Angel but we too can be Angels.
""You question my halo,
My wings, song, and dance"
