Entertaining Angels
Could it be without knowing
Even without a hint or clue
You could be entertaining angels
Or maybe they’re entertaining you
Was it the man who made you laugh out loud
As he smiled and held the door
Was it the lady who sat by you on the bus
Who you had never met before
Was it the child who said you’re pretty
Or the baby with milk on his little face
Maybe the stranger at the grocery store
Who said she would hold your place
Was it the person who sent the email by mistake
Because of a letter in the wrong place
Who now is one of your dearest friends
Although you’ve never seen their face
The next time you meet a stranger
Make sure you notice certain things
Search hard for their halo
Or maybe try to spot their wings
Always be in your best behavior
Remember no matter what you do
You may be entertaining angels
Or maybe they’re entertaining you
