Poem
When my daughter was a tiny babe I used to sing a song To make her feel protected throughout the night so long Beautiful guardian angel in the heavens high above Please keep a watchful vigil o’er the baby that I love As she got a little older we’d sing the song together And ask the guardian angel to keep watch o’er her forever Then on her seventh birthday she got a necklace very plain With a tiny silver angel that would dangle from the chain One day while she was playing the chain caught in her grasp And the tiny fragile necklace was broken at the clasp We put it in her jewelry box to keep it safe and sound Until the day that another tiny clasp for it was found One night at her grandmother’s house while upstairs in her bed A fire broke out within the house and very quickly spread Her grandma tried to get to her but the fire blocked her way And then what we discovered next is a mystery today As the fire trucks arrived in force to battle with the blaze We found our darling daughter safely outside in a daze We asked her how she found her way outside into the night And she said “Daddy I was carried by an angel dressed in white” The firemen had no answer for the stairs had all been blocked And all the upstairs windows were closed and securely locked Then I spotted something that made me think I was insane For hanging from her tiny neck was an angel on a chain Now there are things within this world that we cannot explain And one of them is the mystery of the angel on the chain But as for me I give my thanks to the Father up above For sending His guardian angel to protect the one I love
