Like the taxi driver who
told you that your eyes
light up the world
when you smile.

Like the small child
who showed you the
wonder in simple things.

Like the poor man
who offered to share
his lunch with you.

Like the rich man who
showed you that it really
is all possible,
if only you believe.

Like the stranger who
just happened to come
along when you
had lost your way.

Like the friend who
touched your heart,
when you didn't think
you had one to touch.

Angels come in all
sizes and shapes,
all ages and skin types.

Some with freckles,
some with dimples,
some with wrinkles,
some without.

They come disguised
as friends, enemies,
teachers, students,
lovers and fools.

They don't take life
too seriously,
they travel light.

They leave no
forwarding address,
they ask nothing in return.

They wear sneakers
with gossamer wings,
they get a deal
on dry cleaning.

They are hard to find
when your eyes are closed.
But they are everywhere
you look, when you
choose to see.
