On Angel's Wings you were taken away,

But in my heart you will always stay.

I will hear your whisper in the tallest trees,

Feel your love in the gentle breeze.

And when I find I miss you the most,

Inside our beautiful memories

I will hold you close.

You are an Angel watching over me

with the comfort and blessings you bring,

You embrace my heart and hold it close,

Forever on Angel's Wings
