Angels on the clouds -- Blog4Peace
.Dona Nobis Pacem (Latin for Grant us Peace)
Angels sitting on their clouds;
(two poems)
Peaceful scene up here,
with the angels sitting on their clouds
Wringing their hands,
will there be peace today, could they help
Remembering that day sublime,
"Peace on earth, good will towards man"
and:
Floating clouds galore
An angel sits on each one
Waiting for an earthly task to do
Or perhaps get called up to Heaven
For her God there to serve
Mom's jumped down
that day. We were coming into Omaha
I missed her dying about the time I saw the clouds
Her angel had gone down on assignment
Escort my Mom to see her Lord

Peace, Jim.

Please consider yourself officially invited to participate this year's 5th Annual Gratitude (word) Quilt. Instructions (it is very simple) and a link that explains the origin of the word quilt can be found at the top of my blog. In past years there have been participants from every continent except Antarctica. I hope you'll join us:-)
The vantage from a plane is one of the scenes of peace which may be most powerful because its so far removed from that hard human world below. No wonder angels fly ... great job.
I like to see those angels someday ~ Good one Jim ~
Beautiful poems and wonderful photos, Jim. I can just see each cloud with its own angel. Lovely. And comforting to know your mom was escorted on her journey! When I get there, I'll look her up:)
I'm so sorry you couldn't be there to see your mom off on her journey. I wonder if you felt her brush past? I was there for my mom, but missed my dad's leaveing. I wish you peace, Jim.
Such a beautiful poem from the heart.
What a lovely thought … she passed by and touched your cheek on her way up (every mother remembers the soft curve of their children's cheeks - even when they are a grown men :)
good ones, Jim ~
What a beautiful and sensitive post you have written. I am glad those angels are there each time I fly!
Peace on earth and at peace leaving earth. Nice poems, Sir Jim ;o)
Two beautiful pieces about angels among the clouds, Jim! I love being up in an airplane in the clouds, it does so very much feel like it could be a glimpse of Heaven! I remember too, the long plane trip home to attend my mother's funeral, I wasn't able to say goodbye either, it made me sad. Still, we rejoice because we know for certain that the angels guided them safely home! Thank you for both if these poems for Two Shoes Tuesday. I love how you combined the peace theme, surely sometimes we make the angels cry!
What a beautiful, moving poem. Well done. I believe.
Peace to you Jim. I have to say I look forward to your Tuesday entries and to your comments both are always so heartfelt. This is a really nice piece. Its really reminisent of some sad but important memories for me. THanks.
Oh, Jim, this is lovely. I was lucky to be with my mom, but I have a song I think you would appreciate, because it's about seeing angels fly. If you like, please click on this link and you can hear me sing the song and read the words. Your poem made me miss my mom so much... such a touching thought, the angels sitting on the clouds. Peace, Amy

One of the joys of flying in the sky, Dr Jim :)
Great poem. I've always liked to think that there were angels floating around the clouds when I looked up at the sky.
Did your mom really pass on and you just missed her? If so, i'm very sorry for your loss and sorry that you didn't get to see her in time before she went to be with gods angels.
: )
Chills. Beautiful. So moving.
Thank you for inspiring us, Jim.
