An angel blesses the sleep-world
With peace.
An angel blesses the dream-world
With delight.


An angel comes not alone to birth,
Joy comes too.
An angel comes not alone to death,
Peace comes too.


O my guardian angel,
I love to repeat countless times
Your flower-sweet name.


From the invisible Beyond,
The angels come down
And make themselves
Visible to us.


You do not have to be a saint
To be loved by an angel.
An angel can love you no matter
What you are or who you are.


Angels give in abundance.
They do not expect anything
From us in return.


Each time I empty my mind,
I see an angel painting a rainbow
In my heart-sky.


When I see an angel,
The first thing he does
Is open up my heart-door to hope.


We may not know it,
But it is absolutely true
That each human being is inextricably
Related to at least one angel.


My guardian angel repeatedly tells me
That I do not have to remain
A prisoner of my fate.


The touch of an angel
Is my passport to my
Heart's freedom-joy.


Every morning,
My guardian angel blessingfully
Invites me to occupy
A treasured place in its heart.


I do not know why
I need anybody else
Besides my guardian angel.


My life
Becomes a sea of delight
The moment an angel
Plays on the chimes
Of my heart.


In them morning,
I love to enjoy
The beauty of an angel.


During the day,
I love to feel
The heart of an angel.


In the evening,
I love to be
The breath of an angel.
