My Angel's Shoulders Poem by June FeirCruz

My angel's shoulders are broad
Broad enough for all my worries and my heavy load.
He carries the the weight of my sins
As well as my hopes and dreams.

My angel's shoulders have always been there
Even when I am such a disappointment
I didn't even think he'd care.
And yet he offers his shoulder for me to cry on
And his arms hold me up when I am down.

My angel's wings they shed because of me
By flying so fast and so hard so he could reach me
Reach me on time so that I wouldn't go astray

My angel's eyes shed tears for me
Of gold, emeralds, diamonds and sapphires
These are his tears of joy
When I listen to him and heed our Father's voice.

Lastly, my angels offer his shoulders for me
To remind me, that I am never alone.
