Look Up Poem by louis rams

some may think that this is a lie, but as I "look up " to the sky
I see bands of angels passing by
some come to greet the new lives on earth, at the moment of their birth.
others come to take away the departed souls who will now be completely whole.
we also have the angels who walk this earth, which we may meet and never know, who will touch our lives before we go.
it may be a few words that is said to relieve the pains in our heads.
or to console and strenghten us in our times of despair
to show us that people do care.

‘ LOOK UP " and maybe you will see
those bands of angels - just like me.
