I believe in Angels That theyre always Hovering near, Whispering encouragement Whenever clouds appear, Protecting us from danger And showing us the way, Performing little miracles Within our lives each day... This Angel that sits before you Is in remembrance of those we have lost, And to remind us that they are always with us Today and everyday. Please take your angel home to watch over you.
