Here's another offering to Poet's Corner from a Treorchy lady.

"Winter Angel"

Frost on the ground, a chill in the air

Winter is coming, be careful, take care

Look all around you, steady your feet

Watch how you go through rain and sleet.

Cold hands, cold feet, cheeks all aglow

Waiting for the first fall of snow

Flakes of white, pure and light

Silently falling all through the night.

Morning has come, the streets are all white

Dare I go out, I think I might

I wrap up warm, I walk with care

I try not to notice the cold in the air

I make my way slowly over the hill

And battle against the winter chill

Steady now, keep on going, not a trace of fear showing.

I’m safe now, I’m on the flat

I shrug my shoulders, I pull down my hat

I walk with confidence in my stride

I feel an Angel by my side

My Guardian Angel’s at my shoulder

I feel my steps get stronger, bolder

As I walk protected and loved

I thank my guide from up above.

Always with me, always there

Always showing tender care

I may not notice every time

The loving thoughts entwined with mine

But when I need my Angel near

I know he’s there with love, so clear.
