A situation in which God must intervene
To have it be as you would have it seen
Is not so rare in life as you may choose to think,
Or not believing that there can be such a link.

We muse about our Guardian Angels, like as not,
As harmless fantasies, no actual credence bought.
You think it would be nice if such you could enlist,
But calling on them openly, you will resist.

You’ve had, like most of us—perhaps more than a few—
Occurrences most dire which somehow you came through
Without a scratch….so dire, you had to ask “Why me?”
But felt relieved and thankful, thanked the gods that be.

We humans aren’t so smart as we choose to believe;
There is a spiritual realm from which we may not leave.
To feel its influence, all pieces have to fit;
It’s there, it’s real, regardless how you think of it!
