My Guardian Angel

When I laid upon my bed last night,
I saw this glare that shone so bright.
Coming through the sides of my window shade,
it shone onto the bed from where I laid.
Tempted to know just what was the cause,
I looked out my window to see what it was.
I was thrilled to see where the light was from,
was my guardian angel from heaven he had come.
Looking over me each day and will throughout life,
he spoke of these holy words of advice:
"Life's not all about money,
and it's not all about fame.
But following the right path,
and honouring thy Father's name.
Fear not the evil,
for God's with you night and day.
And do good through all of your days,
and his home's where you'll remain to stay."
When he gave me a smile then slowly disappeared,
I waited for a moment in hopes he'd re-appear.
I saw nothing but the scenes of my backyard,
along with some trees and just a few stars.
Though life's preety hard and I'll always remain tough,
I'll know God's by my side if things get too rough.
If I follow the advice on that I heard,
I'll be among those angels and along with the Lord.
