I gave this poem by Douglas Pagels to my son one valentines day...this is one of my dreams for him, that he will always have an angel by his side.
May you always have
an angel by your side
May you always have an angel by you
side. Watching out for you in all the
things you do. Reminding you to keep
believing in brighter days. Finding ways
for your wishes and dreams to come true.
Giving you hope that is as certain as the
sun. Giving you the strength of serenity
as your guide. May you always have love
and comfort and courage, and...
May you always have an angel by your side.
Someone there to catch you if you fall.
Encouraging your dreams, inspiring your
happiness, holding your hand and helping
you through it all.
In all of our days, our lives are always
changing. Tears come along as well as
smiles. Along the roads you travel, may
the miles be a thousand times more lovely
than lonely. May they give you gifts that
never, ever end: someone wonderful to love
and a dear friend in whom you can confide.
May you always have rainbows after every storm.
May you have hopes to keep you warm.
And may you always have
an angel by your side.
