Angel

I'm not sure what I've done in my life
To deserve to have this angel sit upon my shoulder
In all the mess and scattered events
I've come out of it relatively unscathed

Someone was watching, somebody cared
And wrapped their wings around my shoulders
Protecting me from the debris
Holding me up when I started to fall

Within a heartbeat
You were there for me
A gentle touch, a caring word,
Enveloping me into your fold

Its taken all this
To help me realise
That I am much stronger
And that I can cope

With your love and comfort
You allow me to rest,
By taking my burden and halving it
Taking a share of my problems and making them disappear

Thank you, my angel
