I Asked The Angels

I asked the Angels to watch over you,

In every step that you tread.

That they may lift up your chin,

When you are down and hang your head.

 

I asked them would they hold you up,

When you are tired and weary.

Would they wipe your eyes with gentle wings,

When you are sad and teary.

 

I asked them would they stand right beside you,

And hold you by the hand.

I asked them to catch you should you fall,

So that on soft feathers you would land.

 

But most of all I asked those Angels,

Each and every day when I pray.

To keep you safe, well and loved,

Until I can again one day.
