Birth of an Angel

"Birth of an Angel" by Atlanta Marie Carrera
Gently He comes,
surrounding you with love,
filling you with spirit.

Glory follows Him,
lifting your soul toward Heaven
to where there is no end.

Floating effortlessly,
on hidden wings,
painless and strong.

The light within set free,
Brilliantly radiating,
with peace and joy.

Another of God’s Angels
born from the faithful,
to serve the risen Lord.

At Peace


"At Peace" by Atlanta Marie Carrera
I talk to you softly

I talk to you softly, when no one’s around,
Past a quiet lake, near the old oak trees.

I tell you my thoughts, that no one else knows.
I tell you my feelings, that I never let show.

I tell you my joys, so you won’t worry about me.
I tell you my sorrows, because you comfort me.

I tell you ordinary things that happen each day,
so you won’t miss out while you’ve been away.

I tell you my worries, my dreams and my fears,
and I give you myself, as I have always done.

You fill me with peace; You fill me with grace,
as I talk to you softly, and pray that you hear me.

Angel's Prayer

"Angel's Prayer" by Atlanta Marie Carrera

My Candle Prayer

Lord,
Keep him safely by your side
so he feels your love.
Fill him with the light
of your everlasting spirit.
Teach him to be
an angel in your service,
sharing your peace
with those he touches.

You walk with Angels


You walk with Angels
where I can’t go,
but I hear you singing,
and it brings me joy.

The Angels love you,
they always have,
and I can feel your laughter,
and it makes me smile.

The gifts they bring me
like your perfume
are a love surrounding
that comforts me.

I carry you with me
wherever I go
and the angels guide me
with memories from you.

You will never leave me
even though
you walk with Angels
where I can’t go.

Dreaming

"Dreaming" by Atlanta Marie Carrera

Heaven Keeps Me

Heaven keeps me now....
    but the sun is my hug;
        my warmth touching you,
    and the light is my smile,
        bright and glowing around you,
    and the breeze is my whisper,
        surrounding you in prayers.
    The clouds hold my tears,
        dripping down on you.

And while Heaven keeps me....
    The moon is my heart,
        waning and waxing over you,
    and the stars are my memories,
        shinning distantly for you.
    The night holds my thoughts
        of how I have loved you.

Though Heaven keeps me....
    When you dream, I am with you,
        lying there beside you,
        two worlds merging into one.
    for you are my love,
        holding me safe inside you,
        til this earth sets us free,
    and Heaven keeps us both.

A Flower's Bloom

A Flower's Bloom

A flower blooms but once and then is gone,
but for those who have truly experienced its beauty,
it forever remains within us.
