Hi Sally,
A delish poem!
I agree with what grasshopper says - no need to ask it as a question - make
it as a statement!
I also noticed the line ending with the word "they"
"they
can steer you to any destination."
I don't much like the word just hanging there - and "any destination" feels
vague to me. Could you be more precise, more particular, than "any"
destination?
Bob

>I think of angels when I’m lonely
>everyone has a guardian one they say
>I believe there are lots out there
>lurking in corners, flying down the street.
>Ever seen one driving a car, riding a horse,
>their wings folded like a fan
>their halos so bright they dazzle?
>Sometimes I catch a glimpse of them
>when they think I’m not looking
>after all heaven must be full by now
>and there is so much needs doing here.
>They’re watching now with flapping wings
>eager to help the lonely, confused
>and dispossessed.
>Ask and they will do things for you, try it
>it works; they can find you parking places
>mend your computer,
>and if you get lost, don’t worry, they
>can steer you to any destination.
>Today there will be some with bows and arrows
>aimed straight at beating hearts.
>Watch out for these.
>They’re horny.
