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.
