A Kiss For My Great Grandmother

I kissed an angel's cheek today and watched her as she flew away. I couldn't hold back the tears I cried, as I said my last goodbyes. For never again would I be able to see that beautiful angel open her eyes and breathe. Now she's up at Heaven's gate, where her husband has been at wait. He kissed that angel's cheek today, and held her hand as they walked away. He couldn't hold back the tears he cried, as he hugged her with a joyful sigh. Now she's bowing at the Father's feet, a person she has longed to meet. He kissed that angel's cheek today, he was so glad she was there to stay. He couldn't hold back the tears he cried, as he showed his amazing pride. For that angel will always be up in Heaven with God, our King.
