Angel In Your Eyes

In old photos I see you there
holding me so tight
loving me and brushing my hair;
rocking me through the night.

But Mama you left long ago
for far above this earth.
Your angel wings took you I know
to your heavenly rebirth.

I miss your loving words that calm;
your humble arms around me,
your kisses like a soothing balm
while that sweet voice would astound me.

I know you look down upon me now.
I feel your strength and pride.
My special angel can show me how
to someday cross to the other side.
