Angel In Disguise The other day I met an angel And when I looked into her eyes I saw a love to pierce the darkness I saw that hate she truly despised I saw the comfort and compassion When I was broken or would cry She'd embrace me into her arms And sing to me a lullaby The words so inspirational I'd close my eyes and dream The melody so graceful I was hearing Heaven sing She taught me many lessons About how to live my life Pleasingly towards Jesus Loving daughter, mother, wife She taught me ways of wisdom To always speak the truth She taught me the books of the Bible Joshua, Judges, Ruth Together we play for hours Trains, house, and dolls But soon the sky darkens The sun begins to fall I look in dismay at the night sky Then back to my angel friend I knew she would be leaving It was time for goodbyes; this was the end The angel smiled brightly Then revealed her disguise I stood in amazement I gazed into her eyes Her face brightly glowing Her hair fell down in curls She smiled at me so brightly Wearing a necklace of pearls We stood staring at each other Then I would realize That there stood my mother Angel in disguise by Jennifer Rasmussen |
