Guardian Angel. #Prose4T #ThePrompt
For some reason I have always believed that my grandparents and my uncle on my mother’s side are there watching over me. I feel that they are, in effect, my guardian angels and like to think that sometimes I feel them watching out for me when I most need it. I often speak to them when I need some guidance, support or reassurance. When I saw Sara’s latest prompt was the word ‘whisper’ I knew I could use this word to write a poem with them in mind.
Guardian Angel
A song on the breeze
A whisper in the air
There are small reminders
Most everywhere
I feel their presence
Watch over me
Their strength supporting
The best I can be
When I’m uncertain
Feeling insecure
I look to them
To reassure
I know they want
What’s best for me
Guiding decisions
And helping me see
In the future I hope
My grandchildren are able
To feel my presence
As their guardian angel

This resonated with me too. Loved ones may be lost, but their presence is felt in so many ways every day. x #prose4T
This is just beautiful. Olivia’s grandad has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and we recently named them both a star so she can feel like he is watching her from there when the time comes #prose4t
I love this. I believe too 🙂 Beautiful xox
Thank you Lisa 🙂 x
I’m not supposed to believe in Guardian Angels, but I am pretty sure there’s something that watches out for us, and I’m glad this gives you comfort. I spoke to a friend who passed away about a worry I had the other day and got the distinct impression she rolled her eyes at me and told me to get on with it! Bright blessings to you.
I think anything that gives you comfort is worth believing in 🙂 I am sure that she did – I expect my grandparents do this a lot too! And to you xx
The sentiments in this are so lovely, what a wonderful feeling to have them there watching over you. Such a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing with #ThePrompt and for hosting #Prose4T xx
Thank you so much Sara – and thank you for hosting x
A beautiful piece. I don’t know how we end up but I like to think there’s this much beauty to come in the uncertainty of death.
Thank you so much. Even more prominent after the day I’ve had x
Oh Vic this is so beautiful. I believe the same as you and it gives me great strength to feel watched over and supported by those that we have lost. Thanks for hosting #prose4t and for the mention for our BritMums round-ups. Dawn x
Thank you so much lovely. You are so right x
