Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

It Takes an Angel

The gods walk about
rushing, always in a hurry
They don’t have time to talk
They have too much to do

They’ll drop in
say something important
and leave before you can ask
before you can understand

But the angels never rush out
They do all the work
that the gods don’t want
They stay and clean up

They don’t get the authority
They don’t get the glamour
But they stay with you
and hold you when you cry

It might take a god to heal you
but it takes an angel to make you better
