Calling All Angels

In honor of the 20 littlest angels and the 6 angels who gave their lives trying to protect all the children.

  

Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries

and high above you can hear

the church bells start to ring

and as the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in

somewhere you can hear a mother sing

then it's one foot then the other

as you step out onto the road of hope

step out on the road

how much weight? how much?

then it's how long? and how far?

and how many times oh, before it's too late?

calling all angels calling all angels

walk me through this one

don't leave me alone

calling all angels calling all angels

we're tryin' and we're hopin'

but we're not sure how...

ah, and every day you gaze upon the sunset

with such love and intensity

why it's ah, it's almost as

if you could only crack the code

then you'd finally understand what this all means

ah, but if you could...do you think you would

trade in all, all the pain and suffering?

ah, but then you'd miss

the beauty of the light upon this earth

and the sweetness of the leaving

calling all angels calling all angels

walk me through this one

don't leave me alone

calling all angels calling all angels

we're tryin' and we're hopin'

but we're not sure...

calling all angels calling all angels

walk me through this one

don't leave me alone

calling all angels calling all angels

we're tryin' we're hopin'

we're hurtin' we're lovin'

Friday’s events in Connecticut are incomprehensible. There is no way to make sense of something like this.

The only thing we can do is to act on the lesson to be learned from this tragedy. Live your life to the fullest, make sure your family and friends know how much they are loved, treat everyone with a warm heart, kind words, a gentle smile and never, ever taking anyone or anything for granted.


Find something today for which you can be sincerely grateful and show your appreciation.

Find someone today whom you can encourage and lift them up.

Find a task today that needs to be done and then take it upon yourself to do it.

Find something you can learn today and add it to your knowledge.

Find something you can enjoy, and take pure delight in it.

Find a few moments of quiet peace and just let yourself be.

Find a challenge and let it energize you.

Find something new and creative to wonder at and admire.

Find something timeless and venerable to respect.

There is treasure in every moment, around every corner. Look for it. Find it. Live it. Be it. Fill today with special treasures, every chance you get.


Sending prayers and thoughts of peace and healing to all.
