MY ANGEL

i know i have an angel

that stands by my side

for she was sent to me

after my mom died



but you mustn't get confused

because they are one and the same

the angel that i love

"mother" is her name



she keeps me warm at night

as i lay in a cold bed

she helps to give me peace

when worries cloud my head



she gives me the courage

to face my biggest fears

she comforts my soul

when my eyes are full of tears



she takes me in her arms

when the days get tough

and the time she spent on earth

was hardly long enough



so to my guardian angel

i write this poem with love

and im waiting on the day

that i join you up above
