What Do Angels Look Like

Author Unknown

  Like the little old lady who returned
your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes
light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the
wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to
share his lunch with you.

Like the rich man who showed you that it
really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along,
when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart,
when you didn't think you had one.

Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples,
some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies
teachers, students, lovers and fools.

They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address,
they ask nothing in return.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
but when you choose to see,
they are everywhere you look.
So, open you eyes and count all your Angels --
for you are truly blessed!
