My Angel

 


MY ANGEL


Today I saw an angel's smile -
long hidden by a murky mist;
clouds before my unseeing eyes


Heaven sent her lacking wings;
no golden halo to grace her head -
trumpets silent at her advents


Softly the voice gentle and sweet,
words spoken so lovingly kind -
caring angel calms my troubled mind


Never a need to stand at heaven's gate -
to gaze upon this angelic face;
sight is viewed through new found eyes


Always her love - given to me;
seems I was blind and didn't see -
mother - how much you truly mean to me
