Are There Angels?

It is said there are Angels
In Heaven above
And they shine with the light
Of an inner love
Of these things
I had not a clue
But that was
Before I found you
For in you I’ve found
A love that is so right
It shines all around
With the brightest of light
It comes from somewhere
So deep within
That it has no beginning
And knows no end
Your love is a light
That brightens each day
Of all of the people
You see on your way
Where ever you go
Or whatever you do
All see the love
That you have inside you
That God sent you here
To a place where you’d be
Sharing such love
With someone like me
Is proof for me
That angels exist
And are filled with a love
That no man could resist
I thank God each day
For finding the time
For looking down on me
And making you mine
So yes there are Angels
In heaven above
I know because God
Sent me one to love

The Magic Of Love

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!

- Helen Steiner Rice -




Love is not blind - It sees more and not less,
but because it sees more it is willing to see less.
- Will Moss -



Love is a moment that lasts forever...
 -Julie Wittey-



Love is when you look into someone's eyes
and see their heart.

- Jill Petty -





Love is like a mustard seed;
planted by God
and watered by men

Destiny has a lifetime...

"We stand on the promise of destiny, I will not fail, it claims, it is meant to be; You walk as was preordained, and there I see you; searching still, as though you know not your path. I say this, and yet... I am there also, wondering where it is I shall find you again. It is written in the depths of the heart where destiny takes note, and yet as a puzzle, intriguing, for the end is there, but... how to reach it? That is the dilemma, and the reason for the searching. On the roads lay out before us, we travel, a step at the time, each our own way, until the time is right... for destiny has a lifetime to fulfill." –Dan Frenette

Close your eyes
Block your ears
Ignore your fright
Ignore your fears
Dark as night
Hot as tears
Words that bite
Words that sear
Prove them wrong
Make them hear
All along
You were near
Tell them now
We're both in pain
All that's left
Is what remains
Let them know
Let them see
It was I for you
And you for me

-----------------

The battle lines have been drawn,
And all are choosing sides.
Some will switch sides at dawn,
And some will change at dusk.
But when the war is over,
Those who died can't change.
The place they go will welcome them
Whether for good or bad.

So, will you choose the winning side,
The side that I am on?
Or the side that goes to hide?
That will cause them to loose.
Victory will not come unless
You choose to live the cross.
If you say "yes" then come with us,
And victory will be yours! ~Gulden-Angel

The Treasures of the Snow

Oh man, that liftest up thy heart

And boasteth in thy way,

Dost though know whose design thou are,

Who formed thee from the clay?

By whose word that first morning’s dew

Did cause green herbs to grow?

And hast though entered in unto

The treasures of the snow?

And canst thou tell whence falls the rain,

Who formed the frost and hail?

How grows the grass on yonder plain,

Where no man doth travail?

And where th Gypsy wind has been

And where it next shall blow?

And hast though ented in and seen

The treasures of the snow?

And though who reasons with surmise

And treats His Word with scorn.

Canst thou command the sun to rise

And cause the day to dawn?

And hast thou searched the sea’s

Deep springs,

Their secrets do you know?

Canst thou expain such hidden things

As treasures of the snow?

Yet when thy errant ways are kissed

By white-clad flakes from Heaven,

And thou dost stumble in the mist

And to thy knees are driven;

Wilt thou not seek to understand

The lesson He would show,

And search out by His guiding hand

The treasures of the snow?

For when the night’s bleak, fearsome storm

Doth to the morning yield,

And dancing sunbeams gently warm

They white-clad vale and field,

With radiance bright as angel’s wings

All nature then doth glow,

And promise fresh awakenings

From treasures in the snow.

It is in mercy not in wrath,

By plan, not skittish whim,

That He doth shroud your earthly path,

That you may search for Him.

To cover all thy scarlet sin,

His precious blood did flow,

Oh, seek His cleansing power within

The treasures of the snow.

Angels Watched Close

As a child I was, sent with so much love,
Heaven-cherished from up above,
Wisdom granted from it's halls.
But I could hear the far-out calls!
I'd always sought much more from life,
Not expecting so much strife.

I left behind all I had been,
Hoping in the world to be a queen,
A star with glamour, oh so bright!
But instead I was in for loss and fright.
Good intentions I'd hoped to sow,
But was lured by a foe.


A friend to me, or so he seemed,
Offering everything I had dreamed.
He knew about my rugged past,
And promised our new life would last.
I can't forget his patient stare;
He waited for me my soul to bare,

Hiding from me his jagged knife,
Waiting for the moment to take my life.
A voice I'd known for many years before
Whispered, "He's leading you to the green door."
I laughed it off. "You know not what you say.
"He is my friend, and with him, I'll stay."

Parties and laughs we had together.
I never suspected his love would waver.
One night he raged and I saw in his eyes
Something I did not recognize--
The hatred, the lies, the bitter deceit,
And upon my body he did beat.

With no one around to hear my cry,
I remembered the mercy of One on high.
His loving arms enveloped me.
He wished so much to set me free,
Never looking at the pain I'd caused
In running from His honorable cause.

Angels watched close, and when I'd cry
They'd wipe the tears away from my eyes.
As I slept they'd whisper, "Dear,
"You've been so sad. Won't you let Heaven near?"
I again rejected Heaven's peace;
I sought worldly things for my release.

The faster I ran, the harder I fell,
Nothing I did would break the spell.
Confusion and darkness all around--
Everyone I turned to was also bound.
With every quest and source I sought,
Nothing of this world could be bought

To ease the emptiness inside,
For all the love I had defied
Bare and broken, I let out a groan.
Angels said, "Your true Love won't leave
you alone!"
I had been stripped of my pride.
Only harmony did I wish to abide.

On that day a voice called me Home:
"You're always welcome under love's dome."
"I have rest for your soul, truth and care;
"All you need to do is stay close in prayer.
"Do all you can to unchain those bound.
"You've been there--send this rescue around."

Only through Heave can we find this light.
My brothers and sisters, hold on tight!
Stay true to cause, never give in!
And through His power we WILL WIN.

--Faith A.
