If You Come Across an Angel
Every day, in the world around us,
real-life angels are doing the things they do.
And bringing more smiles to the world around them.
Real-life angels build bridges instead of walls.
They don't play hide-and -seek with the truth,
and they don't have hidden agendas.
They tend to be the only ones who understand
what you're going through.
If they sense that you're hurting,
they do whatever they can to help you.
Real-life angels understand difficulties
and always give the benefit of the doubt.
They don't hold others up to the standards
they can't live by themselves.
Real-life angels are what "inner beauty" is all about.
Real-life angels don't hold things against you;
the only thing they hold is you.
They take your hand in theirs when you could use
a little reassurance.
They walk beside you when you could do with
a little guidance and direction in your life.
And they support you in
your attempts to do what is right.
Real-life angels multiply your smiles
and add to your integrity.
They make you feel like,
"Hey, I really am somebody who matters."
Then they quietly prove to you how beautiful
and true that feeling really is.
If you come across an angel like this,
you are one of the luckiest people of all.
If someone in your life is wonderfully like an angel to you,
it's important to let them know.
It's the nicest compliment you could ever give.
In all the days of your life and
in all the years that you live.
"WHAT DO ANGELS LOOK LIKE?"
Like the little old lady who returned ~ your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes ~ light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you ~ the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to ~ share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it ~ really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, ~ when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, ~ when you didn't think you had one to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, ~ all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, ~ some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies, ~ teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously, ~ they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address, ~ they ask nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings, ~ they get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, But they are everywhere you look, when you choose to see.
