Whisper of Angel Wings Today I stumbled and once again Was lifted up by an unseen hand. What comfort and joy that knowledge brings. For I hear the whisper of angel wings. The guardian angels God sent to all To bear us up when we stumble and fall. Trust Him, my friend, and often youll hear The whisper of angel wings hovering near.
