Answer to an old question

At this time of year we see a lot of angels. Mostly we see them in Christmas decorations or in TV shows or in the movies. They may also be all around us. What I'd like to discuss today however is this statement, that if you are a parent have said countless times. "They look like little angels when they sleep." How quickly we forget the little devils they were when they were awake, but here is my answer to this age old pondering.

The reason children
look so angelic
when they sleep
is that God hoped
we might
be able to catch
one glimpse
of the beauty of heaven
He has waiting for us.
He also hopes
that we might
begin to understand
how
He sees us.
