Angels are more serious,
They do heavy-duty things,
Like easing fears and wiping tears,
And hugging with their wings

Angels are assigned by God
They very rarely show,
Fairies oft are seen in dreams,
And, at will, they come and go

Fairies live in fantasies,
They are wee, tiny things,
They flit about erratically,
On dainty gossamer wings

Angels, though, are very real,
They come in different sizes,
Large, medium, small, petite,
It's hard to recognize them

Fairies make all people smile,
Young and old alike,
To see one in the morning dew,
Is a pure delight

Angels, on the other hand,
May fill our eyes with tears;
We're overwhelmed with gratitude,
They've watched over us for years

When we've been saved from trouble,
It's not coincidence,
God's placed angels in our path,
To stand up in our defense

Fairies offer fun and frolic,
Both to small folk and full-grown,
But when people's lives are over,
It's angels that will take them home

God's angels and earth's fairies,
I think are quite essential,
They surely are related,
For both are quintessential
