An Angel's Voice

I HEARD AN ANGEL'S VOICE
TELLING ME NOT TO GIVE UP HOPE
THAT THE BIG GUY UP THERE STILL LOVES
EVEN THOUGH I LOST EVERYTHING 
I STILL HAVE LOVE, HOPE AND YOUTH
A BRIGHT FUTURE IS AHEAD OF ME
NO MATTER WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH IN THE PAST
IT'S ALL IN THE PAST SO I CAN'T LOOK BACK
SHE TOLD ME SHE KNOWS HOW BAD IT HURTS 
BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH IT ALL BEFORE AND MORE
I CAN'T LET MY PAST AFFECT MY FUTURE 
I CAN JUST LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES
ALL I HAVE IS GOD AND MY MOM 
AND THEY BOTH LOVE ME VERY MUCH 
THIS VOICE WAS MY GUARDIAN ANGEL
IT WAS MY GRANDMOTHER

P.S.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF GRANDMA MARY OCRAN
WHO PAST THE DAY AFTER MY BIRTHADY IN 1998
