on my way home
from an early morning
run to the grocery store
I think about the receipt
$7.77
a few minutes later
I pull into the driveway
and step out of the car
above me
seven trumpeter swans
headed toward the river
we live in the company of angels

ReplyDeleteThank you, Rita. It was a memorable experience. Hope all is well with you and yours. :)
DeleteDear Teresa, I have recognized the presence of angels for many years --ethereal, but more often not. When I gardened public places, my closing assignment lasted 26 years. When one of my younger children visited the campus, he heard deep musical laughter --a sound familiar and beloved. He asked, "who is that big lady?" I answered,"She is a campus security monitor. She helps keep Daddy safe at work." He asked,"How?"
ReplyDeleteI simplified my reply down to the truth: "Because she is an angel." Then we all hugged.
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment and affirmation.
