Guardian Angel

On the day that we are born
An angel comes to earth;
She lingers for awhile
Until the timing of our birth;

Then gracefully she flies
On angel wings so light
And goes back up to Heaven,
To return to us each night.

So as we live our lives
And each day is at its end,
Remember your special angel
From Heaven she'll descend.

She'll watch you as you sleep
And meet with you in dreams,
She's the guardian of the night,
Flown down on moonlight beams.

So when you lay your head to rest,
She'll stay until the morn,
Protecting you as promised
On the day that you were born.
