She has angels perched upon the shelf
She keeps them there to remind herself
That in this world there is still a place
Where real angels can bestow their grace

They have their harp to distribute hope
To those who struggle and start to grope
A musical message they do bring
Heard in the voice of the song they sing

Their halos shine a virtuous light
With charity and faith burning bright
To blaze a path for those who are blind
When the way seems dim or hard to find

Their face is beautiful to behold
A symbol of goodness to be told
Treating one another kind and fair
Offering their grace that we may share

One more gift inspired by the dove
God gave them wings to deliver love
For the place real angels tell their tale
Is in the heart, that's where angels dwell
