LIKE AN ANGEL

You’re an angel, 
he said, 
after I sat and listened
and really heard him.
We have probably all experienced
those who are like angels in our lives. 
They are the ones who 
hear us when nobody else can.
listen to us and share what 
we truly need to hear, 
or help us to see things
we could not see. 
They are the ones who 
just seem to show up 
out of nowhere and ?
minister to us in ways 
we cannot explain.
They are the human messengers
of the one who knows us
and what we need
when nobody else can 
and then hears and answers our prayer
only as they can.
They fill our lives 
with those who are
like angels in our lives.
