My Mum a Guiding Light
The angels came and stood by your bed
And these are the words I think they said
You have suffered more than you can stand
So come with us now to a better land
So a parcel was sent to heaven
Tied upon the wings of a dove
It had to be opened carefully
Cause it was filled with so much love
Now a very special angel
She means a lot to me
She was once my mum here on earth
But that wasn't long to be
Now I know she watches over
I feel her presence near
She's always there to listen
And guide me through my fears
Today like every other
I know that she will share
At sometime something will happen
And I'll know that she is here
Her spirit goes on in all of us
And I can hear her say
Don't be the same as everyone else
Do what you want your own way
I know today she'll be smiling
And doing everything to make it right
I know tonight in dark I'll see
For she'll be my guiding light
I know that she's never far away
It's the love inside my heart
It lets me know that Mum is there
Even though we're miles apart
The angels came and stood by my bed
And these are the words I know they said
Your mother has not gone away
She's with you each and everyday!
