An Angel Poem by James Casey

An Angel

An angel passed by me today
I thought ' Of all the things'
I knew he was an angel
Without even seeing wings

An angel passed by me today
I don't know why he came so far
I didn't know that they were real
But now I'm sure they are

An angel passed by me today
He helped me find the way
He held me close and dried my tears
Sent all my fears away

An angel passed by me today
He helped me fall asleep
He took me to another place
He knew that I was weak

An angel passed by me today
I begged him in a dream
To take me with him when he goes
but he had a better scheme

An angel passed by me today
He gave me some more time
He told me what I was to do
That I would be just fine

An angel passed by me today
But, when I turned around
I looked, but couldn't see him
He was nowhere to be found

An angel passed by me today
I know for I was there
He helped heal my wounds
He treated me with care

An angel passed by me today
He knew just what I'd need
An angel passed by me today
It was a heroic deed

An angel passed by me today
He wore no fancy frock
An angel passed by me today
He had a name and it was Doc.
