Angel Against All Odds by Anne EngelenShe walks the most difficult path in life
One battle after the other
Strife after strife
Existing
Struggling to cope with what life's dishing out
Shes an example to make any man proud
Comprehending Gods way is getting harder each day
How can I understand the pain, the sorrow and desperation
she has to endure?
Especially a soul like hers, so pure?
Shes an angel against all odds
Touching so many hearts and souls
Shes the purest of them all !

Posted by Rommel Cruz on 11/08/02 at 03:50 PM I think we're all angels trying to fight against the odds... I have always pictured angels as heavenly and stress-free. This poem paints a different picture. Not that of a peaceful angel, but nevertheless, beautiful. =) |
Posted by Rommel Cruz on 11/08/02 at 03:53 PM I just have to add, the poem "humanizes" angels in a very good way. =) |
Posted by Rhodora M Fitzgerald on 03/13/03 at 05:27 PM Everyone needs an angel in their life... and everyone needs to be someone elses angel as well. I love angel poems too! Nice Work. |
