Angels Whispering (My Way)

There were moments in my life,
Slipping by unrealized.
Sorrow, joy, contentment, strife,
Regretful things that I despised.
I never stilled, I did not hear,
The angels whisper in my ear.

There were times of wonderment,
Children born and grown and gone.
Marriages to sacrament,
Cherished lovers now forlorn.
I should have been listening,
To the angels whispering.

Now, as I look back I find,
The whispers did not pass me by.
I can hear them in my mind,
Just as silent as a sigh.
Melodious, a tiny bell,
The whispering of my angel.

Summer's air so warm and clean;
Spring-time flowers bloomed with pride.
Blankets of snow so serene;
Beauty Autumn could not hide.
Thinking back now, I declare,
I could hear my angel there.
