Guardian Angel

With a guardian angel by my site
is what it was to be.
Sometimes I felt a tender touch,
although I could not see.
Before too long I did find out
why I had steered away
from my old path that I was on,
before I went astray.


Signs

There are many signs
in our life,
but we are blinded
by the way of the world.


Taking the blame

It takes a weak person
to hand out blame to everybody,
not to reveal their own shortcomings.
And a very strong person
to live with it and carry it,
knowing and admitting:
they are at fault.

To take the blame for others
takes a person of outstanding character
in an unselfish mission to do right
and protecting the lost and weak.
Truly, this is a noble ability,
and a very rare one.
