My Angel

I felt the love of an angel today,

For the first time since I walked away.

I've felt guilt and shame for so many years,

But the angel freed me of that through my tears.

I cried to him and confessed my sin,

I opened the door and let him in.

The angel greeted me with a smile,

He held me in his arms and said, "It's been a while."

He said, "My child, it is going to be alright.

No longer will you cry yourself to sleep at night,

All those times when you were full of fear,

It was I who pulled you through; I have always been near."
