Guardian Angel

When you are frightened, I am the voice that comforts you.

When you are hurting, I am the one that soothes you.

When you feel lost, I am the hand that guides you.

When you're alone, I am there beside you.

When it is dark, I am the light.

When things go wrong, I make them right.

When you stumble, I will hold your hand.

When you fail, I will understand.

Things happen for a reason,

there’s nothing we can do.

Just know that there’ll always be someone

who’s watching over you.

Dedicated to the memory of Alzira Rodrigues.
