I am your little angel
and I'm sent from far away
To cheer you up if you are sad
or had a rotten day.
So when you find a home for me
make sure that it is near,
For when you to need to talk things out
I can lend an ear.
I'm here to make you smile
when you feel a little blue,
Just look into my eyes
and I'll smile right back at you.
Or when your feeling lonely,
and no one seems to care,
Remember angels do,
and we are everywhere.
If you are scared and don't feel safe,
and don't know what to do,
talk to me
and I will get you through.
Now find that special place for me
deep inside your heart,
And I will always be there for you
no matter how far apart.

Today I stumbled and once again
Was lifted up by an unseen hand.
What comfort and joy that
knowledge brings.
For I hear the whisper of angel wings.
The guardian angels God
sends to all
To bear us up when we stumble and fall.
Trust Him, my friend, and often
you'll hear
The whisper of angel wings hovering near.
DO ANGELS EXIST?
Are there supernatural spirit beings that watch over us? Many believe that angels are not only around us at all times, but that in certain instances they can even intervene in our lives. Sometimes they offer comforting feelings or words, or messages of encouragement. In the most astonishing cases, they are even credited with changing the courses of lives – even saving people from certain injury or death. Here are some amazing stories from readers – ordinary people like you.
Kissed by an Angel
When she lost custody of her only child, Helen fell into a dark depression from which she saw no remedy. “I came to a breaking point where I did not want to live with the circumstances as they were... my pain was too great,” Helen says. “I cried my heart out to God so strongly, then collapsed on my bedroom floor with a completely broken heart.
“I just kept asking God, ‘Why me? Why did this turn out this way?’ Suddenly, I heard a man's voice very clearly and calmly say, ‘Get up It's not over. It's not over.’
“At first I was afraid, but then an extreme peace came over me. I stopped crying and stood up. Those words gave me hope. I went to bed and began to pray again to God, when suddenly I felt a kiss on my cheek! It was clear as day, but there was nobody with me. Once again, I was overcome with the greatest sense of peace, love and tranquility that I know only comes from God.
“I fell into an immediate sleep and dreamt of the Archangel Michael standing beside my bed staring down at me with an incredible look of concern and compassion. His eyes were a spectacular blue, and he had a strong nose and beautifully chiseled face with long hair. He was wearing white and his wings wrapped around my entire bedroom as if enclosing me in a cocoon. I knew it was Michael, because he had a large sword in his hand as if to protect me. And I knew in my heart that this was who kissed me and that he was sent by God to minister to me.
“The next morning, I awoke for the first time in months feeling as if my burdens were all lifted. It was the first time I asked God to help me forgive the judge, my husband and all the people who hurt me. From that day on, my depression lifted, and I began to rebuild my life as a weekend mom. Today, I have an excellent relationship with my now almost 15-year-old son, and we treasure our time together.”
My Son's Protector
One theory says that angels are spiritual beings who never lived as mortals. Others, however, believe that loved ones who have passed on can become our guardian angels. Anne is one of those people. She believes her mother may be watching over her son from another plane of existence.
“When he was seven, he came running in the house on a usual day with an unusual tale,” Anne recalls. “He said he was out riding bikes and running around like all the kids did. He was running really fast and tripped on something he didn't see. As he looked at the ground he was about to hit, there was a 2x4 with a big nail sticking out pretty far – and it was headed right for the middle of his forehead. There was no stopping his momentum. Suddenly, two adult-size hands grabbed him around the torso and set him upon his feet, just like that – and there was no one near him at the time.”
Why does Anne think it was her mother? She remembers a powerful experience when her son was just four months old.
“One night I was home alone with my son, Josh. I was at the end of the hallway sitting on the edge of the tub running a bath. Where I was, I could see the living room. Josh was in a room right off the living room in his crib asleep. Suddenly, I knew someone was sitting in the chair in line of my sight, but there was no one physically there. I turned off the water. Seeing as my son was in the room next to this thing, I had no choice but to confront.
“I was not afraid. Suddenly, I felt a difference in a part of the room. It was as if a door to another place altogether had opened up in front of me. The entity came to me and put its arms around me. The closer it got, the more love I felt so intensely. I came to know who it was. It was my mom.
“By the time she actually embraced me, I was in joyful tears. She moved over to the room my son was in. She was next to his crib now, admiring him and telling me without words how beautiful he was and how loved he was. I saw her smile at me. Maybe she's been with us all along.”

What Are Guardian Angels?
Guardian Angels are thought to be spiritual beings that are "assigned" to assist people here on Earth in various ways. Whether there is one angel per person, one angel for several person or several angels for one person is open to question. But whether you believe in them or not, or whether you want one or not, believers insist that you do have a guardian angel.
What is their assignment? According to "Encounters of the Angelic Kind" at Future365 (now defunct), "they intercept at many junctures in our lives and help wherever they can to make our lives run smoothly. Sometimes this is by inspiring a thought to spur us into action, at others it is to lend us super-human strength, such as in the case of a woman being able to lift a car long enough to free her trapped child. Or we hear of a runaway truck, with an unconscious driver at the wheel, inexplicably swerving sharply at the last moment to avoid a bus stop queue of people. In fact, there are many instances, which are often put down to luck, coincidence or even a miracle, but which have the touch of a hand of light behind it."
So why don't angels come to a person's aid every time it's asked for? Sometimes, the article contends, "angels must stand back, whilst giving loving support only, as we work things out for ourselves - these are the times when we feel alone, the dark before dawn."
Angels are always willing to help us, but we have to be willing to accept the assistance since we have free will. "To ask for angelic assistance, you needn't conduct a formal invocation ceremony.The methods are likely to be much more familiar and comfortable to most people, including:
"Connect with Your Angel" suggests yet another method: meditation. "Make yourself comfortable, sitting or lying down. Be aware of your breathing... Let your body become limp and relaxed. Empty your mind; create space, just as though the whole of the universe was there, inside you. Now just be. No doing. Only being. Communicate to your angel that you wish to connect with her/him. Wait in peace. Be aware of what happens. It may not seem much at first. Be patient. Subtle changes will occur. You may see light, colors or form. You may be aware of a presence. You may feel tingling sensations. You may feel emotion. You will feel love."
Is all this just superstitious folly? Is the idea of guardian angels just a human invention designed to help people cope with difficult problems? Or are they real beings? The matter cannot be proved or disproved definitively. Perhaps only your own faith or experience can determine their reality for you. If you believe you have had an experience or encounter with an angelic being, please write and tell me about it.

There are countless stories from people who believe they have encountered real spiritual beings - angels. Some of these ephemeral beings have come to lend assistance in times of great need, while others appear to give comfort, warnings or advice. And many people insist that they have known, felt and even physically experienced the warm protection of their guardian angels. This is Rebekah's story.
It is Wednesday morning, 11:07 a.m., October 14, 1992. I am sitting in the labor room of the Quitman Hospital beside my oldest daughter who is now in labor with her first child. Sitting here, I recall an experience that I had during the early morning hours, but I find my mind wandering back to my daughter beside me... And yet I feel that I must relate the events that took place prior to my daughter going into the hospital, before they are no longer vivid in my mind.
While resting in a deep sleep, I awoke to someone calling my name loudly and clearly with a sense of emergency. They called my first name once: "Rebekah!" The voice sounded familiar to me, like the voice of my daughter. She was due any day to have a baby and I thought it was she outside waking me up to go to the hospital with her. Had I been fully awake, I would have dismissed this possibility; she always calls me "mom."
Thinking that I had to get to the back door in a hurry, I threw the covers off and rolled over to get out of bed. Before I got up, I quickly glanced down to see what I had on. Sometimes I just slept in a T-shirt and underwear, and I didn't want to run to answer the door if that was all that I had on tonight. Seeing that I had a pair of shorts on with my shirt, I jumped up and started running through the house toward the back door where my name had been called out just minutes ago.
Reaching the French doors that led into the laundry room, I quickly threw them open calling out, "Just a minute. Just a minute, I'm coming." At that moment, I reached the back door to find that the porch light was on. Looking through the large pane window in the door, I could see that no one was outside. I was glad that I had a habit of leaving the porch light on. Living by myself in a large, old-frame farmhouse way out in the country, the light gave me a sense of security. I puzzled that no one was at the door. I stood still for a moment, listening for my name to be called out again. Peering through the door window to my left, I could see my car parked by the porch. Everything seemed eerily quiet. Dead leaves were being blown around on the ground by the autumn wind. I waited and listened some more, but still nothing.
A sense of bewilderment came over me as I stood there. I reached out for the dead bolt to unlock the door. I was going to open the door, stick out my head and call out that I was at the back door. But as my hand rested on the dead bolt, I received a warning telling me not to open the door. It's hard to explain the warning; it was like instant knowledge being perceived through my senses. I looked back out into the night, wondering what was going on. Turning around, I walked back into my bedroom to look out the window view of the front of the house, thinking that perhaps someone was at the front of the house. Wondering what time it was, I looked at the clock sitting on my dresser by the window. It read 1:35 a.m. I had been sleeping for several hours before I was awakened by someone calling out my name. I pulled open the drapes, but didn't see a car in the driveway or see anyone walking around outside. I decided that if I tried to figure out what had just happened, I would be up all night and still might not figure out what had transpired, so I decided that the best thing for me to do was to just go back to bed.
The Noises Outside
I closed the drapes, walked back to my bed and climbed in. I lay there for a few minutes trying to adjust myself into a comfortable position. Pulling the covers up to my neck, I rolled over onto my left side, letting my thoughts drift, when a loud noise coming from outside the house startled me. I lay very still, listening. My mind was racing trying to identify what the noise was when a great sense of fear overcame me. I realized that the noise was coming from spirits from the dark side - evil ones.
I had been having problems with evil spirits coming into the house since I had moved in almost a year ago. Every night I prayed for God to send angles to watch over me to protect me from them. Since the number of times that they came around had increased lately, just a few days ago I had called on a very spiritual man that I went to church with and had him come over to give my house a blessing. He brought someone with him and they had anointed my head with oil and administered a blessing to me and the house. He went to God in prayer, asking that he pour out mercy and compassion on me in my time of trouble with the evil spirits, asking that he shield the house with guardian angels to keep the evil ones out and ask that only his spirits of light be permitted to enter.
I suppose this is what the evil spirits were so upset about, and I realized that I had been awakened to my name being called out by someone watching over me, and they had given me the warning not to open the door. The evil ones were not able to come into the house because of the blessing, and even though I knew this, I was still frightened from all the screeching and moaning coming from outside. They were banging on the walls and windows. I had never experienced so many of them at once. It sounded like they were all around my house. I wished now that I had left some lights on in the house. The only light on was the porch light and that was at the back of the house.
I started praying to God to please make them go away, and as I was praying, a feeling came over me that something was in the room with me. I opened my eyes and rolled over onto my back. Standing by my bedroom closet were two personages. My mind was racing to identify who or what they were, and even though the room was dark, I could see them from the light emanating from them. This light filled the room with a soft glow. One stood just in front of the other, and the one standing in front was smaller in stature. At first I was afraid of them, knowing that evil spirits can appear as angels of light to deceive people. I just didn't know what to think. I waited for them to say something, but they remained very still, just looking at me. I could see a look of hesitation cross the smaller one's face. I think that he was surprised that I could see him. A few more minutes passed as we looked at each other. Finally, I found my voice and asked, "Who sent you?"
The smaller one standing in front answered and said, "He who is above has sent me."
I wondered at this answer, not understanding who was above him, but thinking if he was above him, it had to be God. A long silence followed and we just stared at each other.
I was mesmerized at their appearance; it is very hard to explain how I felt. Finding my voice once again, I asked, "Why are you here?"
The same one answered and said, "I have been sent here to protect you. There is a war being waged over you and both sides are fighting for you."
They must have sensed that I was no longer frightened of them because they started walking toward the bed. The same one spoke again as he advanced, saying, "I have been here many times, but you have never seen me."
As he was saying this, I sat up in the bed and they sat down on the edge of the bed beside me. The one that had spoken sat next to me and the other at the foot of the bed. I could feel the bed move as they sat down and a very warm feeling came over me. A sense of calm and love emanated from the two personages, and I felt as though I was being embraced in a sea of mystical energy. I was staring at them, thinking that the only time I had seen a spiritual being while I was fully awake was when I was about eight. My deceased grandfather had appeared to me one day while I was playing and talked to me. My two sisters that were playing with me also saw him. He told me that he loved me very much and would always be watching over me.

The Warrior and the Boy
We sat in silence and I was thinking that I wanted to remember every detail about these two personages. I was looking at them very intensely, wondering about them. I was facing the side of them and they were looking forward in silence. I leaned to my left to look around the being beside me so I could see the one at the foot of the bed. I watched him as he looked toward the windows and then toward the door that led into the den. He was huge and warlike, but despite his fierceness, he had a very calm effect on me. While I studied his appearance, he didn't look at me. He remained watchful, listening to sounds that were now silent to my ears. His hair was white, very thick and wavy, and fell to just above his shoulders. His face was smooth, symmetrical, androgynous and very beautiful. It is virtually impossible to describe the glow of radiance that came from his presence. He wore a one-piece white garment that had no collar that fell to just above his ankles with long sleeves to his wrists. The garment had a brilliance to it. About his waist was a gold cord that was tied on his left side in a knot, then the two pieces of the cord fell to his knees. On his feet he wore sandals.
I was wondering what age he might be as I looked at him. Then I realized that I couldn't put any age on him because his features were ageless. It is hard for the human mind to comprehend what I was seeing, and even harder to describe. I wondered what his eyes looked like; I couldn't see them because he was facing away from me. He must have read my thoughts because in that instant, he turned his face toward me and gazed into my eyes. I could hardly breath, it was so awe-inspiring. I will never forget his eyes - they were like pools of fire! It was only for an instant, then he turned his gaze from me.
I turned my attention to the one beside me. He had more of a human appearance. His glow wasn't as bright as the other being. He wore a light brown shirt that looked like it was made from very soft suede, with cross stitches on the shoulder of the sleeve. I was trying to see more of the shirt, but something was covering it. Leaning closer to him, I could make out that it was his hair. It was dark in color, brown or maybe black, and fell over his shoulders to his waist. My eyes went to his face and I could see that he didn't have any facial hair. His skin color was light brown and he had the appearance of being a young man. While I was looking at his face wondering about him, he turned and looked directly at me. At this moment looking into his eyes I could see something that set the two apart more than their appearance. Staring back at me were two very sad eyes. His whole face was full of emotion - something I had not read in the other being's countenance. I was wondering who he had been and where he had lived when he was a mortal being.
Reading my thoughts, he said, "My name is Calemb, I was killed in a battle when I was very young by a bullet."
He paused for a moment and I could tell that he was remembering the incident he had just spoken of. Then he said, "I left a small son behind, and this grieves my heart still, even now."
I could feel his sadness and a great gulf of pain filled my heart with sorrow. I felt such compassion for him and wanted to embrace him and somehow comfort him, but I could only bring myself to reach out and take his hand in mine. We looked into each others' eyes for a moment, and then he moved his hand as if to pull it away from me, but didn't. I realized that he was uncomfortable with my touching him and thought that perhaps I was not supposed to, so I pulled my hand back and we sat once again in the silence of our thoughts. Calemb hung his head down toward the floor. So many questions were running through my mind that I wanted to ask.
After a while, Calemb turned to me and said, "We are permitted to give warnings, but the information is not always complete. We are not allowed to give any advice that would hinder your free agency. We are not allowed to alter the paths that you choose while you are here." We talked about many things, too numerous to add here.

The Great Battle
Something caught their attention in another part of the house. They both rose from the bed and walked into my den. I was curious, so I followed them to see what they were doing. They both looked up at my ceiling and I followed their gaze, trying to see what they were looking at. Before my very eyes, the ceiling vaporized and for an instant I could see a great battle taking place in the air. There were many personages fighting, some had swords slashing at others, some were locked in hand-to-hand combat. I could see that some were the sons of light while some were sons of darkness. I could tell the sons of darkness because there countenance made them appear in shades of black and gray.
The sons of light - angels of God - had a brilliance to their countenance. I feared they would come crashing through the ceiling and into the house. I started to get very frightened by what I was seeing, and the two personages reading my thoughts caused me not to be able to see anymore of the fighting. They started walking through the house, looking around. I followed them back into the bedroom and we once again sat on the bed. We remained silent. I got the feeling that they were waiting for a command from someone. By this time it was almost dawn. I felt very safe with them, and at some point I fell asleep.
I was awakened by the phone ringing. It was my son-in-law telling me that my daughter had gone into labor around 1:30 a.m. - about the same time that my name was called out - and that they had been at the hospital all night and could I please come as soon as I could. Not long after I got to the hospital, my daughter gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.
I opened my eyes and rolled over onto my back. Standing by my bedroom closet were two personages. My mind was racing to identify who or what they were, and even though the room was dark, I could see them from the light emanating from them. This light filled the room with a soft glow. One stood just in front of the other, and the one standing in front was smaller in stature. At first I was afraid of them, knowing that evil spirits can appear as angels of light to deceive people.
