WHAT AN ANGEL!


These are the things I wish for you--
Someone to love,

Some work to do.

A bit o' sun,

A bit o' cheer,

And a guardian angel
Always near.


traditional Irish blessing




Christian theology defines a cherub as a member of the second order of angels, whose distinctive gift is knowledge. They are usually portrayed as a winged infant or small child.
