Angels Unawares


I did not notice

the large stranger

enter the mission.

Drunk and hostile,

he appeared before me,

as if an apparition,

his fist raised.

"Does God love me!?"

he shouted.

A strength not my own

canceled all my fear.

"Of course, and we do too."

I said.

He collapsed, weeping.
