Return to Home Page Return to Anne Margetson Index THE TOUCH OF AN ANGEL Have you ever been touched by an angel? Most people, I deem would answer no, Yet if they were to stop and think real hard They may have a different tale to tell. For many times I have been touched By a kind word and a gentle hand, Lifted from sorrow and also in pain, Given a helping hand when crushed. I felt heaven close when I’ve helped another, Who needed a helping hand from me. I’ve felt the peace of doing what’s right For a stranger who then became a brother. I am sure we’ve all felt the touch of an angel, Who ever the person may have been, For the world is full of kind, loving people. Angels in disguise, working a magical spell. In turn, try to be an angel, good and kind, Look around this world and see the pain, Place your hand on a shoulder and smile, Drive away fear from a child’s mind The list could be quite long and endless Of small things that sweet angels do. For in life we all need the touch of an angel To help in times of strife, worry and stress. M Ann Margetson Nov 18 1998 ©
