Messages From Angels

My Aunt Esther found this poem, that was written by my grandmother, in a writing tablet she had received after my grandmother passed away. I wanted to share the poem with you be cause not only is it good it's a holiday poem!

I wrote this bedtime story for all you children, grand and great. So I hope you can sit and read it before it gets to late!

"Little Angels"

Today I watched some children outside playing in the snow,

Leaving little angel footprints everywhere they'd go!

I thought, someday, I'd like to follow them and see where the angels go to hide,

When the children's hands and feet get cold and they go back inside!

But today I'm very busy, as busy as can be,

I'm making little goodies for Christmas dinner don't you see!

But then I woke up early in the morning and went out--quiet as could be,

A brand new snow had fallen, and not an angel footprint could I see!

Then I heard those little angels laughing, ..cause they had played a trick on me!

I stayed there very quietly until I heard the angels start to sing,

and I looked up, just in time, to see them shaking snowflakes from their wings!

So when you go to bed tonight and it's hard to go to sleep,

You must be very quiet---try not to make a peep

Shhhhh, just look out the window, and the little snowflakes in the sky

You just might see a baby angel, because tonight, they learn to fly!

When you finally close your eyes in sleep, I'm sure that you won't miss,

The softest touch upon your cheek, it's just a "Little Angel" Kiss!

Love,
