Post Angel In My Pocket/Angel Feather

Angel In My Pocket


I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb:
I live in people pockets
That's where I have my fun.
I don't suppose you've seen me,
I'm too tiny to detect:
Though I'm with you all the time,
I doubt we've ever met.

Before I was an Angel...
I was a fairy in a flower:
God, Himself, hand-picked me,
And gave me Angel power.

Now God has many Angels
That He trains in Angel pools
We become His eyes, and ears, and hands
We become His special tools.

And because God is so busy,
With way too much to do;
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you.

When He tucked me in your Pocket
He blessed you with Angel care;
Then told me to never leave you,
And I vowed always to be there.

Angel Feather


This is an angel feather,
Sent from God above,
To serve as a reminder,
Of His gracious love.

It's from your guardian angel,
That God assigned to you,
And fell out in his struggles,
As he protected you.

Each time you almost stumble,
Each time you nearly fall,
Remember to, Thank God
And His angels for answering your call.

Let me out of your pocket and give me back my feather .

You know I love angels, so these are really special to me. And i do believe that we all have a guardian angel watching over us.

Thank you for these.

Hey Ann

I am keeping your feather!! But you may leave my pocket to help others since you are an angel

Here's another cute poem about angels. I hope you enjoy it

Many hugs.
Love,
Debbie

Angel Pennies

I found a penny today,
Just lying on the ground,
But it's not just a penny
This little coin I've found.

Found pennies come from heaven
That's what my Grandpa told me,
He said Angels toss them down
Oh, how I loved that story.
He said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down,
Sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of your frown.

So don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue,
It may be a penny from heaven
That an Angel's tossed to you.

Hey Ann,

This is fun, you are not sabotaging anything!! I know you love Angels so here is one more before I go to bed

Many hugs
Love,
Debbie



Double Angel Love

The other night when I was sleeping,
On my roof, I heard two thuds,
Though frightened, I peeked out to see,
What had fallen from above.

Imagine my amazement!
Imagine my surprise!
When two celestial angels,
Appeared before my eyes.

"Ouch! That hurt!" one angel cried,
"Oops," the other said,
The first one rubbed her derriere,
While the other rubbed her head.

Then, two clumsy, little angels,
Flew from my roof down to the ground,
I kept my eye upon them,
What in the world had I found!

My doggy barked; my cat meowed,
Dear Lord, please help us all!
God must have had good reason,
Why those two survived their fall.

What kind of angels drop with thuds?
Imposter angels, these?
"No Ma'am," they spoke in unison,
"We are A.I.T.'s."

"Well, what are A.I.T.'s?" I asked,
I did not have a clue,
"Angels In Training, Ma'am," they said,
"We've been assigned to you."

Well, I was flabbergasted,
Two angel girls for me!
Their halos looked authentic,
Did they have A.I.T. ID's?

So I checked them out more closely,
I was suspicious of those two,
Angel girls in training - Hmph,
What was I supposed to do?

"Ma'am, you don't do anything,"
They giggled then and grinned,
"We're here to test our angel skills,
Would you like us to begin?"

Such tiny rosebud faces,
Whose petals opened as each smiled,
Already I felt lifted,
I had strangely been beguiled.

Then they danced around me,
I did not know which way to turn,
My spirits fairly soared,
As I forgot my day's concern.

They sang with bell-like voices,
Music, delicate and clear,
And I opened up my lonely heart,
So I could better hear.

"Look," said Angel Number One,
"I see our lady cries,"
True, the angel caught me,
With tears flowing from my eyes.

"Aren't we here to make her happy?"
Asked Angel Number Two,
"Ah, yes, my little sister,
"But there are tears of joy, too."

Then I felt myself near buried,
Almost engulfed by angel wings,
I was hugged and loved by angels,
Sent in training, from The King.

Never, ever had I felt,
This much love before,
Obviously, the A.I.T.'s,
Were earning their rewards.

They healed an empty heart this day,
Restored love long gone, indeed
Oh, they'll graduate with honors,
When they leave the A.I.T.'s.

Thank you, God, for sending them,
I bowed my head in prayer,
Then, I looked around; I was alone,
Two wing-like feathers in my hair.

Ten Angels

Ten angels walk beside me, each and every day.
Ten angels help to guide me, to give comfort and protect.
They have been my companions since I was very young.

Now you may ask me,"why Ten"?
Do you think you are so special?
Why not one, or two, or three?

Why Ten?
Surely you don't need so many?

Well, each and every angel has a special job to do.
Yes, it seems even angels, Specialize.

All of us know Faith, Hope, and Charity.
They are wonderful angels, and ALL so overworked.

But there are seven more you see and each and every one
gives comfort and protects.

The Fourth angel, is the angel I call TOLERANCE.
Whom I fear we do not use enough, for if we did, there would not be any BIGOTRY, OR HATE.

The next angel, is the one I call FORGIVENESS,
who is under utilized as well.
Who among us could not do
with more FORGIVENESS in our hearts.

Then we have the angel,
I call BEAUTY.
We all see so much ugliness in live.
I don't know a single soul,who couldn't do with
more BEAUTY in their life.

The next two angels, are the twins I call JOY and HAPPINESS
They are most often seen,walking hand and hand.

My favorite angel, is the one I call FRIEND.
This little angel, is the one, who can bring real riches to our lives.
I have often heard her saying,
"To have a friend, one must first be a friend".
And do you know, it WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And last but in no way least, is the angel I call, LOVE.
Sometimes she seems so shy, and it seems like she is sleeping.
But she is always near. If we would only open up our hearts, and just see her standing there.

For if we did,then all the other Angels, would be easier to see.

It is my belief that we all have TEN ANGELS,walking beside us.

They are sent from God, to see us through,
to guide, comfort and protect us
until the day we join HIM,
in the place we call HEAVEN.

Author: Diana Thompson

~~~~~~~~~~

Ten Thousand Angels

When I stop to pray for you,
I know my prayer will be;
Ten thousand angels to watch you,
To guard you faithfully.
I know the Father heard my prayers,
As I have watched you grow;
For ten thousand angels have followed you,
Everywhere you go.

The angels were there on the day you were born,
They kissed your tiny face.
They guided your steps when you learned to walk,
They stand faithfully in their place.
They were there watching over you,
From your cradle till now you are grown;
Angels to guard and protect you,
Ten thousand all your own.

No matter where life takes you,
Even if you are far away;
I'll pray those angels will be with you,
To guard you every day.

Oh keep 'em coming Barbiedeb...I love these.

I have a gold charm bracelet with only angels and one inukshuk (I'll explain that) on it. Each angel means something special to me, especially the guardian angel from my sponsor. So now I will name them all to remind me of the angels that surround me each day.

The inukshuk is an inuit man-like statue made by stacking rocks. They used them in areas scarecly inhabited to point to water, or good hunting grounds or food sources, and they were also considered very spiritual to protect and guide you on your journey. I fell in love with them when I was in Alberta visiting my husband so I got a charm to represent my spiritual protection.





Thank you for all these wonderful "angel" poems.

Hi Ann

Your bracelet sounds beautiful and the story of inukshuk is so interesting.

Every time I see an angel poem, I think of you; since I know how much you love them.

I will keep them coming

Take care.
Many hugs.
Love,
Debbie
