I felt an angel

I felt an angel near today,

though one I could not see

I felt an angel oh so close,

sent to comfort me.

 

I felt an angel's kiss,

soft upon my cheek

And oh, without a single word

of caring did it speak.

 

I felt an angel's loving touch,

soft upon my heart

And with that touch,

I felt the pain and hurt within depart.

 

I felt an angel's tepid tears,

fall softly next to mine

And knew that as those tears did dry

a new day would be mine.

 

I felt an angel's silken wings

enfold me with pure love

And felt a strength within me grow,

a strength sent from above.

 

I felt an angel oh so close,

though one I could not see

I felt an angel near today,

sent to comfort me.
