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
