Ten Angels Walk Beside Me

Ten angels walk beside me, each and every day.
Ten angels help guide me, to give comfort
and protect. They have been my
 companions since I was very young.

Now you may ask me, why Ten?
 Do you think you are special?
Why not one, or two, or three?
Why Ten? Surely you don't need so many?
   
Well, each and every angel has a special job to do.
Yes, it seems even angels, specialize.

All of us know FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY.
They are wonderful angels, and all so overworked!
But there are seven more you see, and each
and every one gives comfort and protects.

The fourth angel, is the angel
I call TOLERANCE.
Whom I fear we do not use enough,
 for if we did, there would not be any
bigotry or hate.

The next angel is the one
 I call FORGIVENESS,
who is under utilized as well.
 Who among us could not do with
 more FORGIVENESS in our hearts.

Then we have the angel
I call BEAUTY.
We all see so much ugliness in
life. I don't know a single soul who
 couldn't do with more BEAUTY in
their life.
 
The next two angels, are the twins
I call JOY and HAPPINESS.
They are most often seen
walking hand and hand.

My favorite angel is the one
 I call FRIEND.
This little angel, is the one who can
bring real riches to our lives.
I have often heard her saying,
"To have a friend, one must first be a friend."
 And do you know, it works!

And last but in no way least,
is the angel I call, LOVE.
 Sometimes she seems so shy,
and it seems like she is sleeping.
 But she is always near.
If we would only open up our hearts
 and just see her standing there.
For if we did, then all the other Angels
would be easier to see.
