AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE
SHE LIKES TO TAG ALONG YOUR SIDE,
YOUR STRESS AND WORRIES ON HER MIND,
AND KNOWING THAT YOU’RE ALL ALONE,
THROUGH TOUGHER TIMES, SHE’LL FALL BEHIND.
SHE ALWAYS KNOWS YOU’RE IN CONTROL,
THOUGH OFTEN TIMES YOU SOMETIMES FALL,
BUT WHEN YOU DO, SHE’LL MAKE IT HAPPEN,
SO, YOU’LL LEARN TO CRY AND LAUGH MORE OFTEN.
SHE WILL BE THERE TO CHEER EACH DAY,
WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH AND GO ASTRAY,
DON’T CRY OR FRET, NO CAUSE FOR HARM,
SHE’LL FLAP HER WINGS AND GRAB YOUR ARM.
SHE’LL TAKE YOU FOR A PLEASANT RIDE,
TO PLACES WHERE YOU’LL LOVE TO HIDE,
BEFORE THE SUNSHINE FADES AWAY,
SHE’LL CALL YOUR NAME WITHOUT DISMAY.
AND SOFTLY WHISPER IN YOUR EAR,
TO THANK YOU MOST WITH DEEP SINCERE,
TO HAVE AND HOLD YOU CLOSE TO HER HEART,
FROM THIS DAY ON YOU’LL NEVER PART.
