Rhianna's
Angels
We brought out markers as we had done
So many times before.
She formed a circle-it had eyes,
And yet, there's so much more!
She looked at me, asked if I saw
The angels she had drawn.
My two year old had pointed out,
"See!-Angels with my Mom!"
Shocked
as I was-and so amazed,
Inquired her, I tried.
"What color is their hair, my sweet?"
"It's white, and oh, so high!"
"They sing to me at night, they do-
And have such little feet!"
I asked her if they scared her so...
"Oh, no, Mom-they're so sweet!"
Of all the words and pictures
I had taught in her short life,
I thought her years to young to
Show an angel clothed in white!
"There's six of them, they come to me,
And hold me as you sleep,"
"Oh honey, do they talk to you?"
"Oh no, they're deaf, I think!"
They say that only children see or feel
An angels' kiss,
Tonight I am, indeed, convinced,
Such "Beings" do exist!

Now
may every living thing,
Young
or old,
Weak
or strong,
Living
near or far,
Known
or unknown,
Living
or departed
or yet
unborn,
May
every living thing
Be full
of bliss.
Buddha (5th century

Tis being
and doing and having

All
the pleasures and pains of which
mankind
partake;
To be
what God pleases,
To do
a man's best,
And
to have a good heart,
Is the
way to be blest.

And
your belief will help create the
fact.
