In the arms of Angels.

I once saw a wounded cat on the road.

He trembled with pain from the hit of a car.

I couldn’t help him.

He became very still as if accepting his fate.

I couldn’t help him.

He closed his eyes.

All I could do was be with him.

I caressed him.

I prayed for him.

I prayed that someone out there would listen to my prayer.

I felt so sad and alone and helpless.

Its hard to hold on to faith when you see someone suffer.

It’s hard to hold on to faith when you yourself suffer.

All I could think about at that moment was, “I am here with you.”

He will know that someone out there is with him.

I am with him.

And perhaps that’s the point of life, for us to be there for others.

For us to be the Angels we pray to.

On that day, he was not alone.

May you be an Angel in someone’s life today.

May you be the answer to someone’s prayer.
