Angels On Watch

His stride was smooth
Admired him from afar
Noticed this man a different place
As time went on
Another encounter
A different time
I always prayed Lord keep me from harm

Again he was there
Another season
Why did I notice him?
Or did I know him?
He didn’t follow
Or gaze or gape
Rather it was I who spotted him

But he was there
A different time another place
Please Lord keep me safe
Over the years
Again and again
I saw this man
But never aged

Please Lord protect me
In all places
In all times
And seasons
It began to register
This was my Angel
God sent to keep me safe
