An Angel

An angel lived among us,

A gift from God above.

She showered us with kindness

And shared with us her love.

She loved her children dearly,

Each one a different way,

Nestled close within her heart.

Though, now she’s far away.

She’s gone to live with Jesus.

But, she’s here with us, today,

Smiling down on every one of us,

And telling us she’s O.K.
