Angel

Aurora

Once every thousand years, a new angel is born,

They live on God’s earth until it is time for them to be fitted with little wings.

While these baby angels are on earth, the Holy Spirit surrounds them in his protection,

And the glory of His love fills the cradle in which they sleep.

When we peer into the cradle,

All we see is a beautiful smile and the face of heaven itself,

The hardness of our heart melts and we understand,

What it means to be humble and without sin.

If you have ever doubted the existence of our Lord,

Wait till the little one wakes and look into their eyes,

And His blessed assurance will be with you now and forever.
