Angel of the Moment

I’m crossing the peak… 

starting the downslope of life… 

From this lofty perspective, 

      I can see the years and experiences…
          …trailing out behind me. 

In those misty reaches, 
      I do see the black depths 
          …of human corruption.

But… 

     Oh… 

          Sweet Lord in Heaven… 

I see so much more! 

      I KNOW 
          …the world is peopled with angels. 

      I KNOW 
          …most people are good and want only to be whole.

      I KNOW 
          …that everyone and anyone is capable…
          …capable of being an angel of the moment. 

That’s my experience. 

And, it gives me hope for the future… 

          …for my son… 

                    …for all our children.

To someone… 

          …to anyone who crosses your path…

                    …be an angel of the moment.

I think we all see corruption at one point in our lives... but we also see the good, the kindness and the hope..."the world is peopled with angels, if you believe.....this reminds me of the song "angels of the Morning"... but can't remember who sang it....

I agree my dear friend. We need to be kind. Hard world for many.
"To someone…
…to anyone who crosses your path…

…be an angel of the moment"
I liked the above lines. We need more angels and kind words. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
