Heavens earth extensions

by Heather - Taurus

I believe there are 
Would-be angels
Walking this warped, cracked world

And they are merely disguised
As the friends who in your times
Of greatest need
Offer their unsolicited hugs, prayers, or sympathy

So many times I find myself 
Floundering and drowning 
Under life's hazy, darkened exterior

Then God sees 
And extends His arm

Through the skin of another human being.

Reason for writing:

    God doesn't always use "thunderbolts" to reach us.
