Did I ever have an angel
Watching over me? ,
If I did, he came unheard, unseen
Is that how it was meant to be? .
Tiny feathers have been strewn,
I`ve collected many through the years,
Did an angel shed in distress
When he glimpsed a flood of tears? .
Maybe he saw my anguish as I tended
My dependent loved one in his bed,
Decided I could manage
Then went to someone else instead.
Or, did he leave a blessing
To show me I could cope? ,
Giving me strength and encouragement
Along with supporting hope.
Oh, angel if you`re out there
I wonder if you can hear my plea,
' If in the future you should visit
Please declare yourself to me'.
I don`t mean to be possessive
Or have any wish to pry,
I would just like a little warning
So you don`t see me cry.
