Angel of Mine

We all have seasons of our lives that our challenging. The last five months have definitely been that. I am not sure when it all will pass, but I do remain thankful for the many blessings I have and have had. One of those blessings is my grandmother who is my most favorite person in the world. Her health issues are progessing rapidly and we are all working through all of the emotions that come with that. I was thinking about her today and sat down to write this song/poem. I actually wrote it to a melody, but if you know me at all, you know I am not the best singer. So on paper it shall be...I love you grandma. This is for you.


We all talk of angels
Guiding from above
Watching over all of us
Bringing God’s comfort, joy and love


Well, I know an angel
Right here on this earth
She’s blessed me every day of life
Since my very birth


She’s an angel watching over
Comfort for my soul
She’s light in the darkness
Her love, it makes me whole

She has always been there
In every single way
Sharing all her wisdom
Ensuring things will be okay

She showed me what it means to care
She taught me how to love
Always there to listen
And point me to God above

She’s a voice of reason in the storms
And strength when I am weak
She’s love abounding freely
A friend to all she meets

She’s filled my life with joy
Inspired me as I’ve grown
Given herself to all around her
She’s the best I’ve ever known


I know one day she’ll be gone
And my heart will fill with pain
But joy will come in the morning
Because one thing will never change


She’ll be an angel watching over me
She’ll be comfort for my soul
She’ll be my light in the darkness
Her love will make me whole
