HAVE YOU ENTERTAINED ANGELS?

 

JUST ANOTHER DAY TURNED TO NIGHT
BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE CITY
RAIN PAINTS THE CONCRETE
STREETS HALF EMPTY
SUDDENLY LOST ON THE
WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
IT COULDN'T GET WORSE
TILL YOUR CAR BROKE DOWN
ALL YOU DID IS MISS AN EXIT
AND NOW STALLED ALL ALONE
WHEN DARK SILHOUETTE
QUICKLY STEPS IN THE PICTURE
LOOKING GANGSTER SAYING HEY THERE YO MISTER
YOUR NOT FROM HERE WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM
SCARED TO DEATH YOU REACH FOR THE SKY
AND START SOBBING
PLEASE I BEG YOU DON'T KILL ME TAKE ANYTHING
YOU WANT PLEASE JUST DON'T HURT ME
DUDE I DON'T HAVE A GUN
I JUST STOPPED CUZ I THOUGHT
THAT YOU MIGHT NEED A JUMP
OR A RIDE TO GET GAS
OR A JACK I COULD HELP IF YOUR TIRE WAS FLAT

HAVE YOU ENTERTAINED ANGELS?
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO SAY
IF ONE SAT AT YOUR TABLE?
MAYBE THEY'VE HELPED YOU IN DANGER
OR SOMETHING AS SMALL AS A SMILE
FROM A STRANGER

THERE'S BEEN A CAR CRASH
AND YOU'RE TRAPPED UNDERNEATH
PEOPLE BLEEDING AND SCREAMING
YOU CANT EVEN BREATH
NO ONE COULD PHYSICALLY PICK UP THIS JEEP
YOUR DEFEATED AND WEAK
BEGINNING TO SLEEP
WHEN TO YOUR DISBELIEF
A MAN APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE
AND SAVES ALL YOUR FAMILY
LIFTS THE CAR SINGLE HANDEDLY
PROVIDES BANDAGES
BUT ONCE THE AMBULANCE MANAGED
HE DISAPPEARED LIKE A BANDIT
LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
WAS HE REAL OR IMAGINED?
THINGS LIKE THIS REALLY HAPPEN
AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT'S THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE
HAPPENING BURNING BUILDINGS AND TRAGEDIES
MASS CATASTROPHES DURING DISASTERS IN HISTORY
SIMILAR STORIES REPEATEDLY
ARE THESE FANTASIES?
OR MAYBE SOMETHING MORE HEAVENLY?

BRIDGETTE WAS 16 AND PREGNANT
SHE COULDN'T FACE IT ALONE
THOUGHT THIS KID WAS AN ACCIDENT
BUT ON HER WAY TO THE CLINIC
SHE SAT NEXT TO THIS GIRL ON THE BUS
WITH AN INFANT
BEING A MOM IS NOT EASY
I HAD DOUBTS BUT NOW
I WOULDN'T TRADE HER FOR ANYTHING
MY BABY'S DADDY HE LEFT ME
HE TOOK EVERYTHING
AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE FAMILY
BUT GOD HAS ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR ME
HE'S PROVIDES WHAT WE NEED AND SO WERE BOTH HAPPY
THEN SHE SMILED AND GOT OFF
THAT THEY HAPPENED TO TALK
WAS A BLESSING FROM GOD
SEE ITS NOT ONLY ANGELS
EVEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAN BE
PART OF GODS MIRACLES
THAT LITTLE BABY WAS SAVED
BY THE SIMPLE YET POWERFUL
WORDS THEY EXCHANGED
