Angels Amongst the Sons of Men
The day the Big White Whale landed on the black shores of Africa was a blessed day to the Sons of Men.
It came with Angels to walk amongst the Sons of Men.
Why do I call them Angels? Let me tell you of my time with them.
I came onboard the
White Whale with rooms filled with
the lame
the maimed
the formed
the deformed
the wrong
and the rough.
And deep into the
darkest part of the night, I saw men and brethren,
maidens and
ladies, though flesh as us, yet with hearts as Angels.
Sleeplessly and
tirelessly they toiled through the night,
through the pains
and aches of men;
They, with hands
to heal and mend,
bringing from
above the Father's love to the Sons of Men.
Some they cut.
Some they tie.
Some they seal,
and yet others
they fix with
tools untold.
Like messengers of the Most High they came.
Not thinking of
their own, they risked their lives
and sailed the
seas to lands beyond the endless world,
to shores of Men
afflicted and in pain.
Their hearts and
lives they came to share,
as Angels walking
amongst the Sons of Men.
Some in this life
are born to pass,
and some are born
in life to live,
Yet these Angels
are born to preserve humanity.
Though some may
see lives as waste,
yet with speed
they move to save.
With words of love
and touch of peace,
they endlessly
toil to make right the wrong.
You were born as
Men to your lands,
and yet as Angels
you served the earth.
Gold is digged from earth beneath.
Treasures are hunted on high seas.
But love so pure
and true
can only in hearts
like yours be found.
Your labor in the Lord shall not be in vain.
For every life you
touch and every soul you save,
For every bone you
mend and every face you straight,
The Lord of Life
and Light will light your path and guide your life.
For you are truly Angels amongst the Sons of Men.
