Angels

There are those who believe,
So the story is told,
That at birth you receive
Your own Angel to hold.
You come into this world
On a wing and a prayer
And throughout your lifetime
She will always be there.
A guardian Angel
Who will guide what you do,
Her pure essence is love,
Sent to watch over you.

Dream

Once a dream did weave a shade

O'er my Angel-guarded bed,
That an Emmet lost its way
Where on grass methought I lay.

Troubled, 'wilder'd, and forlorn,
Dark, benighted, travel-worn,
Over many a tangled spray,
All heart-broken I heard her say:

``O, my children! do they cry?
Do they hear their father sigh?
Now they look abroad to see:
Now return and weep for me.''

Pitying, I drop'd a tear;
But I saw a glow-worm near,
Who replied: ``What wailing wight
Calls the watchman of the night?

``I am set to light the ground,
While the beetle goes his round:
Follow now the beetle's hum;
Little wanderer, hie thee home.''

Darkness

Walking down the darkened hall, I hear a spooky sound
Approach another corner, do I dare go round
The darkness all around me, can barely see a thing
What awaits me round the bend, what will the next turn bring
I rush around the corner, and see a ghostly face
I cannot see the details, my heart begins to race
Feeling round I find a switch, I turn it on to see
On the wall an old mirror, the face in it is me
