een gedicht geschreven door een aziatische vriendin van mij, voor mij en een aantal van haar andere (online) vrienden....thanks junei!
the angel from above
one for all of us
the angel from above
makes us laugh much
the angel from above
with beautiful golden wings
the angel from above
softly to us, the angel sings
the angel from above
holds us when we fear
the angel from above
never far but is always near
the angel from above
knows how strong we are
the angel from above
knows friends aren’t far
the angel from above
brought us together
the angel from above
holds our hand in bad weather
the angel from above
knows when you're sad
the angel from above
knows we haven’t been bad
the angel from above
guides us through life
the angel from above
will help to keep this fight
... who is this angel?
look deep in your heart
realize this angel is you
that is the start
realize you're an angel
to someone or anyone
you bring joy to lives
you definitely bring fun
with love and laughter
sadness and tears
it all comes with the territory
so have no fear
I cry when I hear
"no an angel I’m not"
you've worked so hard
so long you have fought
you may not believe it
you may say NOT AT ALL
have you helped someone out
even when they fall?
have you smiled with someone?
have you loved someone so much?
have you cheered them up?
have you showed you want to be loved?
have you helped others at all?
have you reached out for their hand?
have you believed in someone?
have you helped someone stand?
have you cried with someone?
have you laughed with a friend
have you loved someone?
in trouble.. a hand will you lend?
if the answer is YES
to ANY of those above
then you do no question
deserve lots of love
angels deserve love
no argument about it
if you try to argue
I’m going to have a fit
in each person
lies a different angel
no matter what you think
you help someone when they dangle
from a cliff or from a thread
you tell them you care
just by saying that
you are an angel so fair
angels do care
and I know you do
so you are an angel
god please don’t argue
every angel is different
so don’t argue you're not
I’m in tears as I write this
I love you all a lot
the "perfect angel"
so beautiful and sweet
never has been hurt
never fell to her knees
never has cried
and never has lied
never has trust issues
never has to fight
the angel never needed help
never felt so alone
never felt like she owned
a heart made of stone
well that is the "perfect angel"
that everyone in their hearts feel
you want to know a secret?
that's simply just not real
an angel is real
not perfect at all
an angel even has a time
when they need to fall
they cry with others
and make others smile
they even ask for help
and may fall apart for a while
what makes you an angel
simple just so easy
if you care at all about someone
admit it, even if it makes you queasy
to those that have been hurt
so very badly in life
if anyone can say they care about you
that makes them an angel right?
so why cant you be
the same angel for them?
we hurt so deeply
but we still are friends
your definition of an angel
could be different from mine
maybe you’ll believe you're an angel
I pray maybe in time
wow this is long
so I better end
you're an angel you know
an angel is simply a friend
I promise you my dear
your love carries far
to someone in the world
an angel you are
