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

With voice soft and gently sweet
Words spoken are lovingly kind
Caring angel calms my troubled mind

I need not stand at heavens gate
To gaze upon an angelic face
I need only look with new found eyes

Always her love is given to me
But I was blind and didn't see
Mother, how much you mean to me
