The older I grow…the longer I’m on this spot 

I think our understanding about guardian angels needs to be re-thought.

We tend to think of our guardian angels as sprits who, without making a fuss,

are always somewhere nearby…protecting…looking after us.

What if…with the birth every child parents have happily awaited…

from inside the mother’s womb…an angel is created?

What if…looking at our children sleeping and calling them ‘little angels’ is not just hyperbole?

What if angels are exactly who our children were created on Earth to be?

Which would make us, as parents, guardians of our angels…

Which also means our work is never done…

our job:  to protect and watch over our little angels…each and every one.

And what if our guardianship is meant…not just for those to whom we’ve given birth?

What if our guardianship extends across the world…to all the little angels on the Earth.

As I say…the longer I’m alive…the clearer is my view…

We all begin life as little angels…only to become guardians of angels too. 

If that’s the case…if we’re all created to be guardians of angels…

Then…please…tell me how…

There can be angels starving in our streets and dying in wars…

Surely these are things no guardians of angels should allow.

If we’re ever going to find a solution to all this hunger…hate and war

We need all guardians of angels to remember

what we were all created for.
