The Guardian

An angel was assigned to you,  On the day you were born;       It watched you as a slumbering babe,                     And kept you safe from harm.  It followed every childhood step,                                         Then guarded you as you grew;                                       The dangers that you never saw,                                         God and your angel knew.        For the Father gave the angel, A mission to fulfill;                  To keep and guard your every step,                                         Was the Heavenly Father´s will.                                         To gently guide you on your path,                                        To stand and do battle for you; A constant, holy companion,    Until life's journey is through. An angel was assigned to you,  On the day that you were born; A Guardian sent to walk with you,                                         To keep you safe from harm.
