A very Special Friend and Angel painted
the Angel used in this background set as a gift for me. My deepest thanks,
appreciation and love to Peni Powell for the gift of her beautiful artwork.
My Friends
I consider you my friends
Although we've never met.
You've managed to touch my heart
Through this thing called 'The Net'.
You've been there for me
When I've needed someone.
How can I ever thank you
For all that you've done.
When I've needed a shoulder
A prayer, a hug or an ear.
You have been there for me
Like we've been friends for years.
I don't quite understand it
Us meeting as cyber-friends.
But I feel God had a hand in it
In order for me to mend.
I prefer not to use it
This term 'cyber-friend'.
I'll leave off the 'cyber'
And just call you friend
I feel I must thank you
For showering me with love.
My angels right here on earth
Sent from Heaven above.

An Angel Here, An Angel There
An angel here, an angel there,
I'm surrounded by angels everywhere.
When I'm in the middle of a terrible storm
They come with their candles to keep me warm.
An angel to comfort, an angel to guide,
An angel to fill that dark hole inside.
An angel to cry on, an angel who cares,
I'm surrounded by angels, everywhere.
The angels who reach out when times are rough
Who'll listen to my heartache and all kinds of stuff
Bright in the sunshine and in dark of night
The angels surround me with comforting light.
I guess God is busy and can't come on down
To give me a smile and take care of my frown
So He sent a few angels to brighten my day
And help to carry my burdens away.
So thank you, dear angels, more than you'll know
For watering the happiness and making it grow!

If You Come Across an Angel
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,
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 you 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.
