The Guardian:
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.

Angels Watching Over Me:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Angels watching over me my Lord
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Angels watching over me.

All night, all day
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
All night, all day.
Angels watching over me

If I die before I wake
Angels watching over me my Lord
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Angels watching over me.

All Through The Night:
Sleep, my child and peace attend thee,
All Through the Night.
Guardian angels God will send Thee
All Through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping;
God His loving vigil keeping
All Through the Night.

The Angel of March:
The March Angel brings to us stamina and courage.

As the long winter ends, we take heart from the crocuses that push their heads up through the snow.

The Angel of March cheers us through life's frozen moments, boosting our morale and helping us achieve new landmarks. With the angel's help, we dare to break through whatever barrier, whether personal belief or lack of self confidence, that holds us back. We gather the will to launch a lifelong dream or begin the project we have envisioned, but never dared to tackle.

As the sun begins to warm up our spirits, the March Angel rejoices with us at the first sign of spring and gives us courage to prepare for a new and daunting, and yet fulfilling task.

The Angel of April:
The Angel of April is the spirit of rebirth.

As the days grow longer and the sun begins to warm us and the earth, April is a time for new life and new beginnings. The angel of April spurs us to test ourselves in new direction and to make ourselves vulnerable in the face of unfamiliar people, situations and places. Encouraged by the April Angel, we search for new and novel endeavors that will enrich our lives and bring new meaning to our career or family roles.

The April Angel teaches us to delight with each sign of awakening, in nature and within ourselves.

The Angel of May:
The Angel of May brings the blush and promise of spring.

May's angel rejoices with us as we take heart at the sight of trees and shrubbery in bloom and relish our anticipation of the fruits to come.

This angel of spring reminds us that this is the time of awakening the seed within ourselves. Perhaps we have a deep longing,| an artistic talent unexplored, or a friendship never quite attempted.

The Angel of May will help us to discover this potential, nurturing our spirits so we can dare to fulfill this hidden promise and issue forth the fruits of a life fully lived.

Two Traveling Angels:
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.
When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?
The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die. "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."
"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem." Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later...

An Angel Prayer:
May the angels keep you til morning.
May they guide you through the night.
May they comfort all your sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.


May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you're sleeping.
May they see you through your days.


May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.

May the angels keep you til morning. More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you.
Then may God be there that day.

An Angel Has Spoken:
An angel has spoken,
His words did I hear
Be not afraid, my child,
I am always so near.

Those times when the darkness of night
Seems so endless and long,
When the suns warm touch is far from the dawn, You draw yourself in, hide from the dark,
Fear not my child, for I am thy spark.

I lighten your path,
I hold you within,
You are not alone,
The veil is so thin.

I hear you in silence,
Your fears do I sense,
Darkness is ending,
Light shall commence.

Your pains do I share,
My heart reaches for you,
I weep when you suffer,
My love is so true.

As a child, you called to me,
You needed me there,
My wings to protect you,
To guide you with care.

With age, you forgot me,
You looked another way,
But I am still with you,
How I long for the day.

As days turn to months,
So months turn to years,
You find yourself seeking,
The angels, in tears.

I fly to you swiftly,
With wings soaring high,
To embrace your sweet spirit,
Behold it is I.

As youth you did need me,
To hold you so near,
I never have left you,
Your Guardian so dear.

I walk with you always,
Never shall I stray,
I am Your Angel,
I will show you the way.

An Angel Wrote:
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it's your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.

God gives every bird it's food,
But he does not throw it into it's nest.

He who loses money, loses much;
He who loses a friend, loses more;
He who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are acts of nature.
Beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

The tongue weighs practically nothing,
But so few people can hold it.

Friends, you and me...
You brought another friend...and then there were 3...
we started our group...Our circle of friends...
and like that circle...there is no beginning or end...
