White Light

You truly are an angel

Sent down from above
Your wings surround us with love
You are there to teach us the path
We learn there's no turning back

We reach a fork in the road
You tell us not to go home
You help us to face our fears
You magically wipe away our tears
You hold our hand tight
And teach us to fight
When darkness looms
You provide us the tools to many rooms
When we run fast to escape
You reach out your hand and tell us

To remember footprints in the sand
When the darkness is all you see

You teach us to fight our illness
With all our might
When we need the light

To break into darkness
You tell us not to fright
That angels are on their way
To try to keep the darkness at bay
You help us find little ways
Inside our minds
And slowly a light breaks through
We have great relief
As all your tools helped us find

All the light we have deep inside
