Angels Here On Loan

There are angels here on earth
Who are only here on loan
This place is not where they are from
This world is not their own
 
They're sent to light the paths they walk
To embrace us when we're sad
To share in joyous times we have
To make bad things not so bad
 
They come in forms of mothers
They sometimes are our friends
They share in our beginnings
And soften bitter ends
 
These angels came to teach us
How to love our fellow man
To share the blessings that we're given
To be all that we can
 
While these angels walk with us
We'll never be alone
They'll always be within our hearts
Not contained by flesh or bone
 
And while we journey in this life
May it comfort us to know
Our angel is never far away
No matter where we go
