Angels In The Dark

Sometimes I wonder how it could be,
That I can find such angels in the dark.
It is not the ones easiest seen that I love,
But those you find along your path in life.

They do not hold up a lantern for you,
But a candle that lives so fiercely.
Knowing the candle may go out,
Yet its still as fragile as your may be.

These angels do not sing of harmony,
But they whisper words of encouragement.
They are there when you need them the most,
You just have to open your eyes to find them.

Nor do they have beautiful wings,
They are not perfect in every way.
Some may not have a home,
Living in the faces of the poor people.

The angels that wait so patiently,
Are your friends and loved ones.
Sometimes I just wonder how it is,
That I find my angels... in the dark.
