Every day, in the world around us,
Real-life angels are doing the things they do.
And bringing more smiles to the world around them.
Real-life angels build bridges instead of walls.
They don't play hide-and -seek with the truth,
And they don't have hidden agendas.
They tend to be the only ones who understand
What you're going through.
If they sense that you're hurting,
They do whatever they can to help you.
Real-life angels understand difficulties
And always give the benefit of the doubt.
They don't hold others up to the standards
They can't live by themselves.
Real-life angels are what "inner beauty" is all about.
Real-life angels don't hold things against you;
The only thing they hold is you.
They take your hand in theirs when you
Could use a little reassurance.
They walk beside you when you could do
With a little guidance and direction in your life.
And they support you in your attempts to do what is right.
Real-life angels multiply your smiles and add to your integrity.
They make you feel like,
"Hey, I really am somebody who matters."
Then they quietly prove to you how beautiful
And true that feeling really is.
If you come across an angel like this,
You are one of the luckiest people of all.
If someone in your life is wonderfully
Like an angel to you, it's important to let them know.
It's the nicest compliment you could ever give.
In all the days of your life and in all the years that you live.

Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder,
The Keepers of magic and dreams.
Angels watch over you wherever you go,
Keeping each day perfect and promising
A bright new tomorrow.
The motto of all angels is, "It's a wonderful life."
Wherever there is love, an angel is flying by.

Angels help you carry the ball, carry a tune,
Carry your weight and carry on!
Your guardian angel knows you inside and out
And loves you just the way you are.
Angels keep the world safe for hummingbirds
And butterflies and rainbows in spring.
Angels keep it simple and always travel light.

Angels love whispering secrets and whistling in the dark.
Whenever you hear music, an angel is speaking to you.
Remember to leave space in your relationships
So the angels have room to play.
Your guardian angel helps you find a
Place when you feel there's no place to go.
Keep a spare angel in your pocket.

Angels carry high-beam lights to
Help you through the darkest hours.
Whenever you feel lonely,
A special angel drops in for tea.
Angels know that love is only a four letter word.
We are always "angels on call" for a friend.
Everytime you hear a bell,
Another angel has earned its wings.

Angels are with you every step of the way,
And help you soar with amazing grace.
After all, we are angels in training.
All we have to do is spread our wings and fly.

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 to touch.
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 wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
They get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
But ~ they are everywhere you look,
When you choose to see.
