An Angel's Wings


I know there is somebody watching over me.
I know he is there, even though I cannot see.
I hear him, whispering words of comfort.
I hear him saying, "Sometimes it must hurt."
I see his face, staring down his fears.
I see my face, forcing back the tears.
I feel his joy, when I do something right.
I feel him near me, ready to fight my fights.
I see proof that I am always be in his heart.
I see the clouds, creating works of art.
I hear daddy's words, telling me he's gone.
I hear the silence, hoping I'd heard wrong.
I know he is listening, when I start to sing.
I know that I am protected,
by the power of an angel's wings.
