When I was young I believed angels were shy
content to remain in the shadows of the day and night
happy to watch over and protect us while remaining out of sight
Growing up in the Catholic Church…this is what I was taught
but the older I grow I’ve come to believe…angels are not as shy as I once thought.
Nor are they all sent from heaven…no I think many angels can be found…
down hear upon the Earth…spreading kindness all around.
All along this trip we’ve encountered angels…who have helped us every day
in the airport, everyplace we’ve stayed…with our car…
when we were lost…couldn’t find our way
People who stopped, smiled, listened, lent us a hand…
who were more than willing to share.
which enhanced my belief that surrounding us are angels everywhere.
Waiters, bell hops, clerks behind the counters, people on the street
angels we have never known but were fortunate to meet
As we walked the streets of Old Quebec City today…
angels were everywhere to help us with any undertaking or task…
and we found out sometimes an angel will help…without even being asked!
Yes, here in Canada where in a different culture we have found ourselves entrenched
we realized there are even angels who can speak to us in French.
In fact, this being an international tourist town…
we’ve heard, Chinese, Indian, Russian, Spanish, Dutch and Greek
It appears there isn’t any language angels do not speak
Which makes us want to try and be angels from now on…
every day of every week…
because, as all these angels have reminded us:
Kindness is a universal language everyone can speak.
