My Angel

Wishing you were still here
Because you're near and dear
To my young beating heart.
You helped me think smart
About the choices I made,
Though before I wasn't swayed.
You taught me to reach for the light,
To not give up without a fight.
You took my selfishness and turned it to dust
And taught me eternal trust.
You were truly one of a kind
With the nicest and keenest mind.
Everyone always came first
And you quenched their everlasting thirst.
You were greatly beloved,
I swear you came from heaven above.
So now you've been called home.
You had your time to rome
And rub off your love and care,
Something that spread and was shared.
The good die young it's true,
That rule applied to you.
Now you're my guardian of peace,
Your love and protection shall never cease.
I miss you, I really do.
It's your death I'll always rue.
