For the Promise of Angels

~inspired by the many angels in my life~

Look for me,

In the gentle calm,

As your skies seem to fall,

For I am in the rain,

And you will know,

You can weather any storm.

Look for me,

In the sheer clarity,

That comes with your tears,

For I lie within those tracks,

Bearing a promise,

And you will know,

You are not afraid to cry.

Look for me,

Within your perpetual smile,

Even when the world,

One you thought you knew,

Does not smile back,

I will,

And you will know,

You are not afraid to smile for the world.

Look for me,

In every word you say,

And every word you don’t,

In times of doubt and fear,

Cling to the strength deep within,

For there is where I’ll be,

And you will know,

You are not afraid to say what you need to.

Look for me,

Across your dark horizon,

Past the murky shadows,

And the taunting clouds,

Look for that one star of hope,

For there is where I’ll be,

And you will know,

You are not afraid to follow its light.

Look for me,

Within the flames,

That burns through your heart’s winters,

For there is where I’ll be,

And you will know,

You’re warmth will break through,

The coldness of others.

Look for me,

Within the reach of your heavens,

Across which you will soar,

With the wings of faith,

I am with you,

And you will know,

You can rise beyond what you ever thought possible.

Look for me,

On the rocky ground,

Where you will stumble and fall,

Look for your pain and hurt,

Leave them with your footprints,

For there is where I’ll be,

Lay them with me,

And you will know,

That you will fly again.

You only have to look,

For there is where I’ll be.
