As I was walking through the woods on a warm Summer day
Then saw an Angel up ahead as I went along my way
My reaction to this Angel was not borne out of fear
I began to speak softly for I knew that she could hear
She looked at me with eyes of love but did not say a word
Then bowed her head solemnly that told me that she heard
A Heavenly messenger just for me sent from God above
To guide and protect me with an abundant shower of love
We often began to wonder if Angels really do exist
They appear to us in many ways by a hug, kind words or a kiss
When I got to the end of the path she said to me with a smile
I traveled with you along the way and guarded you all the while
The path that I had chosen to take apparently without a care
This was the way I had to go for my Angel was already there
An Angel just for me I said as I headed back for home
Always with me wherever I go and however I choose to roam

Lovely, your own Angel. I believe we all have angels guarding and protecting us, how wonderful to read of yours. This poem should be up there with 'foot prints in the sand' xx
Nice diction and cadence. Easy flow of words and thoughts. But did the poet actually see an angel in the woods? ? Poems become very powerful when one writes from one's direct personal experience. Face to face experience of truth infuses a poem's words with magical powers of conviction. Metrical composition is good, although the poet may like to experiment with other forms as well. Poetry is all about freedom - discovering ever new territories of art, content and form.... (Metaphorically the poem can refer to the guiding light one frequently experiences while going through a difficult phase - woods - in life...)
A world of fantasy you created wonderfully. The Angel here is the good spirit who guards the innocent soul.
A good depiction of the essence of guardian angel portrayed in a well articulated narrative poem, nicely written with spiritual insight. Thanks for sharing Patricia. Please read my poem COLOSSAL MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
