Earth Angel
There is a softness about you
That summons things divine.
It makes me think what I must do
To be worthy to call you mine.
There is a kindness you employ
That touches my heart and head.
It is the source of boundless joy,
And nothing does it leave unsaid.
There is charity in all your acts
That lifts lives in endless ways.
It confronts mortality’s harsh facts
And turns fearful nights to days.
There is love within your being
That embraces all who are near.
It’s a blessing I’ve been seeing—
An earth angel irrepressibly dear.
