There are those among us whose glowing smile
and endless care give way to the perils in a day.
They are there to listen to our every word
and show us that one cares.
For in the midnight hour of despair
when outstretched arms only grasp thin air,
and tears break free from the barriers of day to day life,
they are there to ease the pain and comfort the soul.
You may call them friend, family or even a lover,
but those are just nicknames for they truly are Earth Angels.
