My Angel

I'd always heard of angels
But hadn't met one so far.
Yet I was certain they existed
If you wished upon a star.

Other people seemed to benefit
From miracles, it's true.
But I never thought I'd see an angel
Until the day that I saw you.

I see an angel in your eyes
On your breath, its wings do flutter.
There's an angel's glow around you.
I can see it in no other.

As I grew to love you
And old wounds began to heal
I realize an angel isn't something you can touch
But something you must feel.

As I gaze upon your smiling face
It all just seems so clear.
For every time I look upon you
I know an angel's near.


Happiness At Last

I now feel such peace and happiness
For troubles I no longer care.
So my problems and temptations
I now give to God in prayer.

When I cast my cares upon the Lord
My life becomes carefree.
I can’t remember all the trials,
The way life used to be.

Now each morning I do wake
With a smile upon my face.
It’s such a joyous feeling
To understand this place.

While on this early plane, I know
That God takes care of me.
Now love, and joy, and peace
Are the only things I see.

Emotions used to rule my world,
My heart and spirit, too.
Now I let the Holy Spirit
Keep me from feeling blue.

When worry ceases
Joy can be set free
To fill out lives with happiness.
And God did this for me.
