What do angels look like?
What Do Angels Look Like?
They are —
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that
Your eyes light up the world when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you
The wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered
To share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you it
Really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along,
When you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart,
When you didn’t think you had one left to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
All ages and skin types.
Some with freckles①, some with dimples②,
Some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised③ as friends, enemies,
Teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don’t take life too seriously,
They travel light.
They leave no forwarding address,
They ask for nothing in return.
They wear sneakers④ with gossamer⑤ wings,
They get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
But they are everywhere you look when you choose to see.
天使是什么樣子？
天使就像——
那個(gè)昨天撿到錢包并把它交還給你的身
材矮小的年老婦人。
那個(gè)告訴你當(dāng)你微笑時(shí)
你的雙眸能照亮世界的出租車司機(jī)。
那個(gè)將自己對(duì)細(xì)小事物的好奇心
展現(xiàn)給你的小孩子。
那個(gè)一貧如洗
卻仍然愿意將午餐分給你的窮人。
那個(gè)告訴你
只要心存信仰一切皆有可能的富人。
那個(gè)你迷路時(shí)
碰巧走過來的陌生人。
那個(gè)你以為自己無法被觸動(dòng)時(shí)，
撥動(dòng)了你心弦的朋友。
天使降臨了，他們姿態(tài)萬千，
年齡無所不包，膚色無所不含。
有的長(zhǎng)滿雀斑，有的嵌著酒窩，
有的皺紋密布，有的面無瑕疵。
他們可能裝扮成你的朋友，敵人，
老師，學(xué)生，戀人，甚或傻瓜。
他們不把生活看得那么嚴(yán)肅，
因而飛得很輕。
他們不會(huì)留下轉(zhuǎn)遞地址，
因?yàn)樗麄儾磺蠡貓?bào)。
他們的球鞋上綴著輕薄的羽翼，
他們跟干洗店有約定。
閉上雙眼，你很難發(fā)現(xiàn)他們。
如果決定尋找，他們會(huì)在任何地方出現(xiàn)。

愿你身邊時(shí)刻有天使相伴。愿他在你跌倒時(shí)伸出援手，鼓勵(lì)你追尋夢(mèng)想；愿他緊握你手，助你跨越難關(guān)，做你幸福的源泉。
