An Angel In Your Eyes

I met a long-lost friend of mine,
just the other day!
We hadn't met in quite some time,
how long, I just can't say!

We sat and had some coffee,
and had a nice long chat.
He was shocked to hear, my wife had passed,
and wished, I hadn't told him that!

He gently touched my shoulder,
and looked me in the eye!
"I know she's up in heaven,"
then he began to cry!

"You were such a lucky fellow,
to have her for your wife!
Her real strong love, and fortitude,
stabilized your life!"

"My friend, now she's an Angel.
Which, to you, is no surprise!
Cause, I know, she always was,
an Angel in your eyes!"
