theres an angel at my bedside    


  her hand in mine secure,


with comfort she embraces me


 i feel her presence near.


theres an angel at my bedside


 who whispers in my ear,


like spring winds blowing softly


 a peace,rustling thru my hair.


theres an angel at my bedside


 her summer scents do fill my room,


like the many flowers i ve planted


 the best bouquet of summers bloom.


theres an angel at my bedside


 autumns promise she did keep,


 to guide my spirit peacefully


as winter, carpets me in sleep.


theres an angel at my bedside


 her words of faith are strong,


assuring me my journey home


 yes my dear..it was a solmen one!


now in heaven i am happy


 surrounded by loved ones,


and the children here are many


 so my work has now begun.


ive brought your many memories


 and left you some of mine,


treasures that will not be lost


 in the archives of earths time.


now lor, wipe away those tears


 let the peace of life live thru,


the memories that we had on earth


 and the love i share with you!!       


 


lor may you take comfort that your time on earth with your aunt was indeed a memorable treasure..and the legacy of love she left behind will live on....there should be more people like her,this world would be a better place...my condolences...hugs mindy
