"Angels"

Angel

I felt an angel's presence
On the day you left my side:
A gentle touch upon my cheek,
To wipe the tears I cried.

I seemed to hear her whisper
"Your loved one's in God's care,
Just turn your eyes to Heaven
And know he's resting there."

Her presence brought me comfort;
It was as if she knew
My faith in God was tested,
On the day that I lost you.

The years have swiftly passed,
Yet still I sense her near,
And know, whatever comes my way,
She'll help me through each fear.

God never leaves us helpless
As along life's path we roam:
An angel always comes our way
To guide us gently home.
