My Gaurdian Angel

Sometimes, when sad I’m

And the world

To understand me fails;

Like an angel

You come,

And comfort me.

Sit beside me,

Bear me all the time.

I love the pleasant words you speak,

Not condemn my misgivings,

And still show the mistakes done;

And not hate me

For doing so!

I love the touch

Of your caressing hand,

I love to feel your fingers

Part my hair.

My angel……so dear to me,

Never abandon me,

Always be near.
