Angel
I felt an angel's presence
On the day you left my side,
A gentle touch upom the cheek
To wipe the tears I cried.

I seemed to hear her whisper
"Your loved one's in God's care,
Just turn your eyes to Heaven
And know she's resting there."

Her presence brought me comfort,
It was as if she knew
My faith in God was tested
On the day that I lost you.

The years have swiftly passed
Yet I still sense her near,
And know, whatever comes my way,
She'll help me through each fear.

God never leaves us helpless
As along life's path we roam,
An angel always comes our way
To guide us gently home.
