The Angel In My Heart
To my mother who had a kind soul.
To grow up and be like you was my goal.
You were so kind to all you met.
A trait I haven't conquered yet.
Some day I hope to be like you.
Trying to master the things you'd do.
I know you're up there looking down.
I hope I'm not here making you frown.
You've been gone from here for twenty six years.
And even though I've shed my share of tears.
In that short time you spent on earth.
You showed how much one life is worth.
I treasure the time I spent with you.
My love for you was always true.
The fondest memories I know we've shared.
You always showed me how much you cared.
I know your life now is supreme.
We'll meet again in my next dream.
